Gen. Jack Keane on Israel's Campaign Against Iran's Nuclear Program

Israel's Campaign Against Iran

• 🎯 Israel's campaign is focused on Iran's nuclear enterprise, aiming to destroy it and decapitate its leadership.
• 🚀 Significant progress is being made in eliminating Iran's ballistic missiles, a primary weapon against Israel.
• 🇺🇸 President Trump fully supports Israel's campaign, emphasizing that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

Addressing Deeply Buried Nuclear Sites

• 💡 Israel faces challenges with deeply buried nuclear sites that are difficult to reach with air power alone.
• 🤝 The US may be asked to assist with penetration bombing to destroy these challenging sites, which is crucial to prevent Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program.
• 💥 The US possesses deep penetration bombs capable of reaching sites half a mile underground with significant wall thickness.

Iran's History and Current Weaknesses

• ⚠️ Iran has a history of aggression against the US and its allies, including attacks on Marines and embassies.
• 📉 Iran's conventional military is weak, and its leadership understands the consequences of decisive attacks against the US.
• 🧠 Penetration of Iran's security forces is significant, weakening the regime and making it more vulnerable to internal uprisings.

Strategic Implications and Future Steps

• 🚫 There are no plans for ground invasions or regime change by the US or Israel; any internal change would be Iran's choice.
• 🌍 Eliminating Iran's nuclear program would prevent a nuclear arms race in the Middle East and reduce Iran's regional influence.
• ⏳ The campaign is estimated to be about halfway through, with Israel continuing to destroy Iran's ballistic missiles and launch systems.
