Iran-US war latest: Trump military chief seeks ‘off-ramp’ from conflict as Strait of Hormuz ‘hit by missile strike’
Donald Trump‘s military chief is seeking an “off-ramp “ from the ongoing war in Iran, according to a new report.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dan Caine has privately told other top administration officials that the country needs to find a way to exit the war, according to CNN, which cited three sources familiar with the matter.
Despite Trump claiming throughout the war that a peace deal, which would include his demand that Iran never obtain a nuclear weapon, was within reach, fighting has continued for more than five months.
It comes as the United Arab Emirates condemned an Iranian missile attack on its carrier as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, accusing Tehran of “acts of piracy”.
State news agency WAM initially reported ADNOC as saying one of its vessels had been targeted by a missile early on Saturday and that the situation was under control.
The UAE Foreign Ministry later condemned what it called “the hostile Iranian attack” on an ADNOC vessel.
