Jack Keane on Iran Using the Midterms as an Advantage: It’s One of the Reasons They Believe They Have the Upper Hand

RUSH EXCERPT:
KEANE: “As we move closer, despite the success of the economic blockade, I’ve always felt that the people don’t care that much about their own people suffering here. What they really care about is staying in power and the influence they believe they have over this administration moving towards the midterMs. I’m convinced calculus in, in the last few weeks they’ve conducted 22 attacks and as we get closer, I think we run the risk of the frequency increasing but also the purpose of the attack and the violence of the attack may also end the reason for that is clearly in their minds they think the closer they get to the midterm elections in terms of their actions, the less likelihood the president to respond militarily against them. Listen, you would think by now that all this time that this regime has been dealing with our president that they would learn a little bit from their miscalculation that they’ve done in the past and it’s been quite considerable. He has all the cards here. I believe the best card to play is a combination of all the economic ones using the blockade and what secretary besson is doing with sanctions and other things, it’s quite remarkable and also military power. And I do think that change takes place as a result of that."
