‘I won’t opine on & share my advice…’: Gen Caine refuses to share insights on Iran war decisions

Senator Jeff Merkley pressed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine on whether U.S. military actions and decisions related to Iran could affect America's allies and regional security. During the exchange, Caine declined to discuss internal military advice, saying he would not publicly "opine on or share" the counsel he provides to the President regarding potential military action against Iran. The tense hearing comes as questions continue over U.S. strategy in the Middle East, the impact of Iran policy on allies, and the Pentagon's military planning. Lawmakers sought clarity on deterrence, alliance commitments, and the broader consequences of any future conflict involving Iran.
