US President Donald Trump is looking for a "scapegoat" for war with Iran, writes in "The Atlantic" citing sources close to the American leader. According to them, Trump is looking for a responsible party among those who assured him that the military operation would be carried out quickly. He can place the blame for the military standoff on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, as well as on the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain. Hesseth and Kane were positive about the prospects of the conflict in its early stages. The publication's interlocutors reported that Gasth is not popular in the White House, and also "knows how to tell the president what he wants to hear", thereby embellishing real information. On October 27, Trump blamed Iran for starting the conflict with the United States. At the time, he also criticized the cease-fire agreement with Iran reached in June. In his opinion, the agreement did not justify itself, and the truce itself did not initially cause many approvals from him. At the end of October, citing sources, it reported that the Trump administration had informed allies in the Persian Gulf to prepare for a short and intense round of attacks on Iran as early as November 4, the day after the mid-term congressional elections.
