You Don't Have to Patronize Me': Retired General Gets Testy With Fox's Will Cain, Later Apologizes

"The U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran on Saturday, killing dozens of Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Hundreds of civilians have also been killed, including at least 165 people at a girls' elementary school in southern Iran. Most of the dead were children. Moreover, six U.S. soldiers were killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait."

"President Donald Trump and his administration have given different explanations for the military campaign, which Trump said could last for four weeks or more. In one telling, Iran was allegedly close to building a nuclear weapon, despite Trump's claim that last summer the U.S. had totally obliterated Iran's ability to do so."

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. acted when it did because administration officials knew Israel was about to attack Iran, which could lead to U.S. casualties. Rubio also said the goal is to eliminate Iran's ballistic missiles. Additionally, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said, This is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change."

The U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran on Saturday, resulting in dozens of Iranian official deaths and hundreds of civilian casualties, including at least 165 people at a girls' elementary school. The Trump administration offered multiple explanations for the campaign: Iran's alleged proximity to nuclear weapons development, preemption of Israeli attacks that could harm U.S. forces, and degradation of Iran's ballistic missile capabilities. Secretary of Defense Hegseth stated the operation was not regime change, though Iran's regime did change. General Keane described the military plan as comprehensive and condition-based, requiring weeks to execute. A Fox News segment became tense when host Will Cain pressed Keane for clarity on victory conditions and mission completion criteria.
