General Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has conveyed a clear message to President Donald Trump's administration: the war in Iran must end. According to CNN sources, Caine has spent recent weeks signaling to Trump's top advisors that a resolution is urgently needed.

Sources familiar with the discussions revealed that Caine is "looking for a way out." He has reportedly voiced his concerns about the available military options in Iran to several high-ranking officials within the Trump administration. These include CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Vice President J.D. Vance.

Caine's apprehension stems from the belief that escalating military actions could lead to unintended consequences. Furthermore, he reportedly feels that relying solely on air strikes will not be sufficient to achieve the objectives set by President Trump.
