Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson claims there is significant internal opposition within the US military to White House plans for an attack on Iran. According to Johnson, CENTCOM commanders in the operational region, including the generals commanding air and ground operations, are telling their superiors the attack should not proceed. They reportedly argue the planned strike would not achieve its objectives and would instead create many more problems for the United States. The alleged confrontation highlights potential friction between the Trump administration's strategic posture and military leadership's operational assessments.
