Retired general urges Trump to give Iran 'one more warning' as US reportedly weighs intervention

Retired Gen. Jack Keane called on the Trump administration to confront Iran’s leadership head-on, urging a final warning before taking action against officials he says are responsible for violently cracking down on protesters. "The president has told them, ‘If you kill them, I’m coming for you,’" Keane said during an appearance on "Life, Liberty & Levin." "They’ve already killed more than 40 people, and they’ve jailed many more. And in jail, they will execute them." As nationwide anti-regime demonstrations across Iran hit the two-week mark, Keane argued that President Donald Trump should now follow through by issuing one last warning before targeting those responsible for maintaining an iron grip on the population. "I think the president could give one more warning and then [take down some of the leaders] responsible for conducting violence against the Iranian population," Keane said. "I believe that we have the leverage here to actually curtail this behavior." The article cites multiple Israeli sources telling Reuters that the Trump administration is weighing possible U.S. military intervention. It includes imagery and reporting of protesters in Tehran and notes activists rallying in support of Iranian demonstrators in Lafayette Square across from the White House. Trump posted on Truth Social expressing support: "Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!" He also said the U.S. would respond forcefully if the regime resorts to mass violence. Retired Navy Vice Adm. Robert Harward called Iranian regime change "inevitable" on "Fox & Friends Weekend," and Fox News noted prior reporting that the regime may be using militias such as Hezbollah and Iraqi groups to counter the uprising. The piece references reporting by Reuters and AP and quotes Fox News analysts urging follow-through from the U.S. following the crackdown.
