BlockBeats News, August 8th. On August 7th, sources cited by the United States stated that General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is seeking a way to avoid a conflict with Iran.

Sources revealed that in the past few weeks, General Mark Milley privately made it clear to other senior advisers of Trump that the U.S. needs to find a way to avoid a conflict with Iran, as the military options on the table could backfire and relying solely on air power is unlikely to achieve Trump's goals.

The sources disclosed that General Mark Milley has discussed with other government officials, including Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, and CIA Director Haspel, the military options to escalate the conflict and has proposed ways to seek an end to the conflict.

General Mark Milley has recently met privately with several like-minded Trump advisers to ensure they are in agreement before meeting with the President. In addition, it was mentioned that during a recent meeting with Trump, General Mark Milley expressed concerns about the dwindling U.S. ammunition reserves and the potential options for escalating the conflict were discussed.
