Ret. Gen. McKenzie: Iran’s Attack on Israel Was as ‘Close to a Maximum Effort that They Could Generate’

BRENNAN General welcome back ░░░░░░░░ Face the Nation Given ░░░░░░░░ you just saw play ░░░░░░░░ in the last 24 ░░░░░░░░ I wonder if you ░░░░░░░░ that deterrence has been ░░░░░░░░ And on the spectrum ░░░░░░░░ options that Iran had ░░░░░░░░ it how big did ░░░░░░░░ go last night McKENZIE ░░░░░░░░ first of all good ░░░░░░░░ see you Margaret I ░░░░░░░░ this was a big ░░░░░░░░ by Iran I think ░░░░░░░░ was as close to ░░░░░░░░ maximum effort as they ░░░░░░░░ generate And I ll ░░░░░░░░ it in this way ░░░░░░░░ has over 3 000 ░░░░░░░░ of various types scattered ░░░░░░░░ the country They have ░░░░░░░░ 100 probably a little ░░░░░░░░ than that missiles largely ░░░░░░░░ western Iran that can ░░░░░░░░ Israel Based on what ░░░░░░░░ Israelis are saying I ░░░░░░░░ they fired most of ░░░░░░░░ weapons at Israel The ░░░░░░░░ obviously were able to ░░░░░░░░ most of them Iran ░░░░░░░░ not replicate last night ░░░░░░░░ attack tonight if they ░░░░░░░░ to Now they also ░░░░░░░░ cruise missiles and they ░░░░░░░░ drones to try to ░░░░░░░░ a multidimensional problem to ░░░░░░░░ Israelis It was a ░░░░░░░░ effort Now the Iranians ░░░░░░░░ going to backtrack and ░░░░░░░░ about moderation There was ░░░░░░░░ moderate about this attack ░░░░░░░░ I think John Kirby ░░░░░░░░ it precisely when he ░░░░░░░░ talking to you earlier ░░░░░░░░ the nature and scope ░░░░░░░░ the Iranian attack It ░░░░░░░░ indiscriminate and it was ░░░░░░░░ to cause casualties So ░░░░░░░░ should just consider that ░░░░░░░░ we take a look ░░░░░░░░ it Now has deterrence ░░░░░░░░ reset I think the ░░░░░░░░ performed magnificently with our ░░░░░░░░ and the assistance of ░░░░░░░░ nations in the region ░░░░░░░░ including the United Kingdom ░░░░░░░░ so I think that ░░░░░░░░ the Iranians have to ░░░░░░░░ back and consider what ░░░░░░░░ considered their most important ░░░░░░░░ their ballistic missiles their ░░░░░░░░ and their cruise missiles ░░░░░░░░ now been employed in ░░░░░░░░ major combat test and ░░░░░░░░ that test has failed ░░░░░░░░ I think Israel this ░░░░░░░░ is now much stronger ░░░░░░░░ they were yesterday and ░░░░░░░░ is relatively weaker than ░░░░░░░░ was yesterday.”
