Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned President Donald Trump that an attack on Iran would carry “acute risks,” citing depleted munitions stockpiles—drained by support for Israel and Ukraine—and limited allied backing, officials said. Caine told a White House meeting last week that shortages of interceptors (THAAD, Patriot) and ship‑launched missiles would increase danger to U.S. forces and complicate any large campaign, which could require striking hundreds to thousands of targets. The White House disputed that Caine opposed action; Trump later called the reporting “100% incorrect.” The reporting is based on people familiar with the discussions. (washingtonpost.com)
