Retired General Jack Keane warned Iran's leadership to take President Donald Trump's threats seriously as the United States moves military assets into the region. Keane emphasized that the administration remains committed to holding Iran accountable for violence against its citizens, despite speculation about a possible softening of the White House's stance. He highlighted reports of thousands killed and many more arrested during recent unrest, and accused Iran's leadership of bringing in foreign militias to suppress protests. Keane also noted that while the United States has not yet taken direct action, military preparations are ongoing and American bases, as well as Israel, could be at risk if tensions escalate.
