US Gen. Dan Caine looking for 'off-ramp' to avoid further escalation in Iran war – report
According to the report, Caine recently made clear to other US officials that available military options may not be enough to achieve US President Donald Trump’s stated war objectives.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, is reportedly seeking an "off-ramp" to de-escalate the conflict with Iran, according to a CNN report citing three sources. Caine has privately expressed to other Trump administration advisors that current military options may be insufficient to achieve President Trump's objectives. Concerns include dwindling US munition stockpiles, which could hinder responses to Iranian retaliation if airstrikes escalate. Caine has discussed these concerns with officials like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, aiming to present a unified front to Trump regarding military limitations. While Caine has been careful in conveying his misgivings to Trump, he has emphasized that "airpower has its limits."
