Possibility of firing two American military officials due to the failure of the war in Iran The "Washington Post" reported that those close to the administration of Donald Trump raised the possibility that he would ask to fire Dan Cain, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, or Brad Cooper, the head of CENTCOM. These two commanders were responsible for overseeing the war against Iran and may be the target of Trump's revenge after the disastrous results of the midterm elections for Congress.
