Gen. Milley Denies Recommending Iran Attack, Reflects on Afghanistan Exit

General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, denied claims made by former President Donald Trump and his chief of staff Mark Meadows that he recommended a US military attack on Iran during the Trump administration. Milley stated that he had never recommended such an attack and was not aware of the specific document Trump referred to. Milley's role in Trump's presidency has been significant, including his response to the Black Lives Matter protests and concerns about Trump going "rogue" after January 6, 2021. Milley also denied Meadows' claim that he urged Trump to attack Iran multiple times during his presidency.
