Gen. Jack Keane, a Fox News senior strategic analyst, reacted Sunday to reports that a Hezbollah leader said America has started a new “war” after the U.S. airstrike Friday that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, saying, “that’s nonsense.”
“There’s [sic] other things that they have done, as we all know,” Jack Keane, a retired general who served as U.S. Army vice chief of staff, said on “Fox & Friends” on Sunday. “The Islamic Republic of Iran, when they took over in 1980, declared war against the United States, said they are Satan, they’re our strategic enemy.”
He continued, “They want to dominate and control the Middle East.”
“There’s [sic] two objectives that they publicly stated, and they reinforce it every single year. To be able to gain control of the Middle East. One: Have to drive the Americans out of the Middle East by force and they are using their proxies to do it.”
He went on to explain the second objective, which he said was to “destroy the state of Israel.”
Keane elaborated that Iran’s leaders “have been dead serious for 40 years.”
Soleimani was killed early Friday in Baghdad, in a U.S. strike that President Trump directed. The U.S. described the killing of Soleimani as a defensive measure to prevent an “imminent attack” on U.S. interests after an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad days earlier.

Hezbollah leader was simply repeating what Dims/media were saying.
We were just minding our own business until they attacked us. They’re obsessed with us.
We don’t give a f*ck about how the ragheads run Iran. When they mess with us, they bear the consequences.
Nonsense.
Iran started it years ago.
We’re just finishing it.
The UK from their PM to their Secretary of Defense are supporting President Trump for taking out Soleimani and his command thugs/
Their MI5/MI6 intel must have some really damning evidence against Soleimani and his command thugs.
... We’re just finishing it.
There is no stopping this short of turning the Middle East into a glass table
Seriously, $80 million on his head?
The President is worth at least a billion times that.
*Cheap is as cheap does.
Yep, The UK and Israel wasted no time speaking out and supporting President Trump.
The Iran leaders better step back and take a few deep breaths before going too far.
The UK was so prompt in supporting this.
Shows that Boris and Donald were discussing this POS, Salami and Boris had not problem letting Donald handled the problem.
Has that idiot London mayor said anything yet?

Yeah, that seems like a niggardly fraction of $1.7 billion U.S.
Jack Keane is ugly but good for tv when talking about the military. Please don’t advocate a DoD position like before.
He’s probably holding a photo of the flambéd general and weeping like a wee girl.
Iran have been hegemonic, colonialist running dogs for decades now.
Not, Boris might just stuff him into a garbage can.
“Yeah, that seems like a niggardly fraction of $1.7 billion U.S.”
Tee hee hee, you said niggardly, tee hee. If you were on the air they would fire you as a racist. To bad they don’t own a dictionary.
I’m a great fan of the English Language.
I haven’t studied other languages in great depth, but I’m acquainted with a few. There may be more beautiful spoken languages - I want to learn Italian - but I don’t think there is a more beautiful or deeply expressive *written* language.
Fine with me.
We have been at war with Iran since they took American soil in 1979 attacking our embassy and taking 52 hostages. Now Trump has assigned 52 targets in Iran to be destroyed if they do anything to another American anywhere. Bravo and Semper Fi Mr. President.
