Trump may place the blame for prolonging the war in Iran on the head of the Pentagon and the head of the Knesset, the Atlantic writes. Donald Trump is considering leaving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kaine to hell. According to the "Atlantic", the president is not satisfied with the failure to end the hostilities and focuses on advisers who made optimistic predictions about a "quick war". Those close to Trump admit that Gasth may not have been honest in his assessment of the state of the conflict, presenting it in "rosy tones" for the president's approval. Hesseth and Kaine were key advisers to Trump in the early stages of the campaign. In the past, the US president stated that the conflict with Iran should end either with an agreement or a forceful scenario.
