Retired Four-Star General Jack Keane Unloads on Iran's Nerve to Demand Billions in Unfrozen Assets as a "Test of Trust" — "Who Do They Think They're Talking To?"
Retired four-star General Jack Keane delivered a blistering, no-holds-barred response to the staggering audacity of an adviser to Iran's supreme leader, who had the nerve to demand that the United States unfreeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets as a so-called "test of trust" — a demand that Keane dismissed with barely contained fury and a single question that said everything: "Who do they think they're talking to?" The retired general, one of America's most respected and decorated military minds, made clear that Iran's attempt to extract financial concessions from the United States as a precondition for good-faith negotiations is not diplomacy — it is extortion dressed up in diplomatic language, and it deserves to be treated as exactly that. The Trump administration did not claw its way back to a position of maximum leverage over Tehran by rewarding Iranian demands before a single verifiable concession had been made. General Keane understands that, and he made absolutely certain the American public understood it too.
