Iran: Military Option Must Remain On The Table; it’s The Only Way To Ensure National Security”Keane

General Jack Keane recently articulated a compelling argument for maintaining a military option in response to Iran’s ongoing nuclear ambitions. In his interview with Fox News, he stressed that the military option is not merely a fallback but a necessary strategy to safeguard US. national security and regional stability.

Keane’s comments come amid a backdrop of escalating tensions between the US. and Iran, as diplomatic negotiations have shown little promise of yielding a satisfactory resolution. He asserted, “The military option must remain on the table; it’s the only way to ensure our national security.” This statement shows a growing consensus among military strategists that without a credible threat of military action, Iran may feel emboldened to continue its aggressive pursuits.

The general elaborated on the current geopolitical landscape, noting that Iran is at its weakest politically, economically, and militarily. “This regime is the weakest it has ever been,” he claimed, suggesting that now is a critical moment for the US. to act decisively. He highlighted the importance of leveraging this weakness to create conditions that could lead to a regime collapse, thereby eliminating the threat posed by Iran.

Keane also expressed concern over the potential consequences of sanction relief, warning that it would only serve to extend the life of a regime that has consistently destabilized the region. “If we make a deal favorable to Iran, it would not be in the best interest of the United States or the Iranian people,” he noted.

Moreover, the general emphasized the need for a comprehensive military strategy that includes both defensive and offensive capabilities. He stated that the US. must be prepared not only to defend against Iranian missile and drone attacks but also to dismantle the infrastructure supporting the regime. “We have the capability to do that, and it’s crucial that we act,” he asserted.
