With Trump at U.N., General Keane calls for military retaliation against Iran to prevent world recession
Retired four-star General Jack Keane shared his approach to rising tensions with Iran on Fox Nation’s “Maria Bartiromo’s Insiders” as President Trump prepares to address the United Nations on Tuesday in the wake of Iran’s latest alleged attack on Saudi Arabian oil facilities, which have since been declared an “act of war” by U.S. officials.
“The administration should do what they’re currently doing,” said Keane, “and that is setting the conditions by going to the U.N., identifying to the international community with declassified evidence that Iranians are the culprits — they are attacking not just Saudi Arabia, they are attacking a world economy to destabilize and push it into recession and every single member of the UN has a stake in that…and let’s put that out there so they understand what is truly at risk there.”
“They are attacking not just Saudi Arabia, they are attacking a world economy to destabalize and push it into recession — and every single member of the UN has a stake in that.”
Keane also called for the “further isolation of Iran, politically, diplomatically and economically,” but stressed the importance of a “limited military response” to stop Iran from pushing the world economy into a recession.
Though, Keane does not anticipate significant military participation from other countries, he explained, but said it is up to the U.S. to lead the effort.
“Why,” he said, “because it is in our national interests to protect the world from a global recession and what it would do to our own economy.”
