EXPOSED AND DECIMATED: Ilhan Omar's SHOCKING moment to Trump's Iran ultimatum | Recap

Uh it is with great great pleasure to

welcome back on set General Jack Keane,

Fox News senior strategic analyst.

General, thank you for doing this. We

appreciate it. Um you know General

McCormack, you know you know him. Um uh

he's speaking the truth.

>> McKenzie.

>> Mackenzie rather. Sorry.

>> Yeah. Yeah. I know him very well. uh

he's he was an outstanding commander in

Sentcom

>> and metal had a lot of challenges

himself and he's reflecting something

that we're very much aware of this

actually our planning in dealing with

the regime actually started when they

took over and uh when they first killed

over 300 of us in 1983 when Reagan was

president

>> blew up two embassies and blew up our

marine barracks we realized we had an

adversary on our hands so it was in

those even those early days that central

command began to plan for a war with

Iran given what they had already done to

us and then they continued to kill us.

What President Trump is different from

those previous seven presidents

>> is while many of them had to deal with

Iran who was killed Americans, all seven

of them had to deal with their overall

aggression and destabilization and not

one of them was ever really willing to

confront them in any consequential way.

And I love what you're saying up there

in the introduction. President Trump is

trying to put an end to this

>> 47year experience. That is the purpose

of what is taking place here. And why?

What's the motivation? There's intense

motivation that came out after the

12-day war to include our taking down

their nuclear capability. What Prime

Minister Netanyahu and President Trump

recognized based on their intelligence

services looking at this that Iran

recommitted to all of their goals and

objectives and and that was missile

development, Chinese helping them, more

drones, uh recover their nuclear

program. And then the fourth thing is

they began to continue to funding the

proxies. They used different banks to do

it, pass it through Istanbul, hundreds

of millions of dollars and nothing had

changed. If anything, they were

recommitted to all of those goals and

they realized we have got to do

something about it. We can't wait

because they're developing longer range

ballistic missiles, more lethality,

recover a nuclear program with the

potential obviously to use it. And that

created a sense of urgency. And then

they looked to the central commander,

they looked to the IDF commander and

they are dusting off plans that already

exist and have existed for years.

>> That's the thing I just um the what

General McKenzie said is so important

because you you've got these

Democratic senators and House members.

We hear about it all every day from

somebody and legacy media. There's no

planning. There's no of course there's

planning. They are insulting the

military and they are using falsehoods

and that's why I think you've said this

a lot. Now you got company with this

general McKenzie. I mean it need it's

something that needed to be said. It

needed to be put out there. Of course

there's been plan. They've been planning

for four almost five decades.

>> Yeah. And they don't only just put a

plan in place. Then they go out and

practice it.

>> Yeah.

tabletop exercises, CPXs, and and then

they adjust the plans because the enemy

always has a vote and what we we do so

our audience can understand. We organize

a red team to oppose us in those in

those computer exercises and we give

that red team all the resources that

Iran has and they're complete operating

completely independent. There's no

coaching by anybody and they put huge

pressure on a blue force. So as a result

of that, all the options that Iran could

possibly come up with are exercised. I

mean, it was a revelation to some people

when they when they impose their will on

the straits of the moves and they said,

"Oh, Americans weren't prepared for the

straits." You got to be kidding me. When

I was a division commander, a twostar

general, a core commander, three star

general, and a four-star general decades

ago,

>> we knew that. We knew that was be one of

the first things that they would do. And

we have worked against that. We know

exactly what these guys are doing and

what they can do to intervene with us,

interfere with us if we begin to impose

our will on them, which we will do.

>> Yes.

>> Our military plans call for us to open

the Straits of Amuse and use military

force to do it and to secure it and keep

it open

>> to recover the nuclear whatever that is

left there and finish off their

ballistic missile program as much as we

possibly can to include drones. and we

will have accomplished our assigned

missions. That's a fact.

>> Uh I was general, there's um been a lot

of talk about this Pentagon final push,

more troops coming into the Persian Gulf

theater, the M East theater in general.

Um can you comment on that? What does

that mean? I mean, we're going to we

will reopen Hormuz and in the next

segment we're going to talk about the

Venezuelan model of who's going to run

the money and the oil. But in terms of

the military side of this, as you say,

it will be reopened. A lot of people

think this new addition to troops are

part of that reopening. Do you think

they are?

>> Well, the president has options and and

certainly the Straits of Amuse, Car

Island, what it what it truly

represents. 90% of their oil

distribution is sitting right there on

that island. And he has options to

exercise here. In the war games that

we've played in the past, we have used

ground forces for short range missions

in, out, maybe stay a few days depending

on what the mission is. This is not an

invasion force to be sure. Anybody in

other words, put that out of your mind.

>> We're talking about 10,000 20,000 troops

at at most here. An invasion force would

be something north of 100,000. Mhm.

>> So this is this is give a very specific

mission. It has a certain time duration

associated with how long does it take to

accomplish that mission and then they're

out of there.

>> And I'm just going to guess uh our air

force has been planning this anyway by

taking out various Iranian whatever they

have missile sites or drone sites that

are in that neighborhood either on the

on the cliffs of the Hormuz Strait or

someplace. But there are pro I'm just

guessing but I'll ask you are has this

been in preparation already?

>> We have been working on this probably

ever since they imposed their will. We

ex began executing that war plan. And

what does that mean? That means taking

down anti-ship missiles at distance

>> long range ballistic missiles at

distance. The shahid drones can go

almost 1,000 miles. So we're we're going

deep into Iran that can access the

straits of Amuse. And then we're working

close in to deal with what close in mind

layers, small boats that could be

suicide boats to interfere with

shipping. They could fire drones from

that that small boat as well or fire

other kinds of short-range missiles at a

boat. All of that

>> uh is being exercised and and then the

other thing is do we have to control a

piece of ground there in addition to

having what overhead? What we have right

now in the area are Apache attack

helicopters. Very effective, move slower

>> than a jet fighter.

>> We have A-10 Warhogs, which is a Air

Force airplane designed a single
