Restarting War with Iran is a Political Decision, Says General Keane

However, he added that the U.S. military is fully prepared and poised to launch major combat operations if directed by leadership. Addressing concerns about the status of the ceasefire following Monday’s series of attacks, Keane noted that Iran is currently engaged in "low-level harassing fire," keeping the conflict's momentum relatively low for now.

The General issued a stern warning to adversaries, stating that the current U.S. restraint should not be mistaken for a lack of resolve. According to Keane, Iran appears "desperate" to initiate maneuvers from the south. Furthermore, he highlighted significant instability within the Iranian hierarchy, noting that their "command and control structure is highly fragmented," and the leadership is struggling to maintain internal cohesion and control.
