joining us tonight to take up all of this and more general jack keane former vice chief of staff of the retired four-star general and "fox business" senior strategic analyst. good to have you here. let's start with hormuz, another coalition and the importance of protecting shipping in the region and those waterways. is this the way to go? >> most definitely. the trump strategic offensive to isolate iran diplomatically and economically is truly working for the iranians are back on their heels. they have always been a dangerous determined foe for 40 years but i have never seen them so hapless. at every turn they make they are losing and what's happening here their mission from their perspective was to put pressure on the united states, isolate them because of the international community that the iranians have created a crisis. as opposed to that happening the allies have come together with the united states and you have mentioned in the introduction yes we are going to oversee a maritime protection operation in the golf and the strait of hormuz and the uk france netherlands and denmark ar

general jack keane, good to have you back. what do you make of the situation where we are, these tankers, there are threats tonight. >> no doubt about it. the noose is tightening around the iranian's. these economic sanctions, it is comprehensive, crippled their economy. they have power outages, civil unrest and most significantly in addition to that, the funds iran pushes to their proxies to direct the civil war in syria and human to push rockets and missiles into hamas and hezbollah to encroach on israel those funds are drying up so this is a place that iran has never been in 39 years. that is why you see them sabotaging tankers in the gulf, 6 of them and they got caught at it and they switch to trying to bust a nuclear deal with uranium enrichment hoping the europeans will bail them out economically. it doesn't look like that is going to work. now they try to retaliate against the brits and stop one of their tankers, that operation failed. you can see that iran is back on its heels. >> what about the pressure there trying t

joining us fox news strategic analyst, jack keane. happy early 4th to you. make of iran's plans to enrich uranium? they're trying to put pressure to find ways around the u.s. sanctions. it's sounding more like another threat. >> there's no doubt about it. what they did with the provocations in the persian gulf, sabotaging six tankers and attacking the saudi pipeline, that sort of back fired on them even though they shot down an american drone. the american president exercised some restraint here, gave him leverage with our allies. but the iranians got caught at sabotaging the ships. they didn't intend to get caught. so they have a problem now with those provocations. are they gonna continue to do those or not? it looks like they have switched course and, as you mentioned in the introduction, they clearly want to increase the enrichment that passed the restrictions as imposed on them by the nuclear deal, to use that as leverage with the europeans. they'll tell the europeans, look, we'll go back and comply, but you have to provide us with economic relief becau

. >> trace: let's bring in general jack keane.ic analyst and retired general. general, i have to ask you quickly, the president doesn't seem as chris wallace said very agitated and the seizure of these two vessels in the strait of hormuz. your thoughts. >> well, the president is very much aware as is his entire team around him that they're playing a winning hand. their streak offensive campaign to isolate them politically and economically is working beyond expectations and the best thing i've seen in 39 years of any administration pushing against iran. and what is happening to the iranians, i have never seen them as inept as they are in some of the mistake that they continue to make before our eyes and trying to create a crisis environment so pressure will be put on the trump administration to back off the sanctions. one thing after another they have tried nothing. they haven't increased any of the pressure on the trump administration. they have a long playbook to go yet and they're going to continue with provocations to be sure.

liz: with me now, retired general jack keane. thanks so much for coming on.moving forward or backward? what should the trump administration do next? >> we are definitely moving forward. this is the first administration in 39 years on the strategic offense in dealing with the iranians. the maximum pressure campaign we have not seen the likes of before it's got the iranians back on their heels that way that's crippling their economy. that's what started the military provocations and sabotaging ships that were trafficking through the persian gulf and the gulf of oman. the problem the iranians had is that backfired because we caught them at it. also our viewers should know while we did not execute a kinetic strike on iran as a result of the american drone being shot down, we executed a very sophisticated cyber sophisticated strike that i am here to tell you is considerably more impact that can be reported. that is significant. liz: what can you mayor with us about that? >> i can't share a thing about it. liz: but you know it happened? >> i have a sense of it. ira

joining me right now to reflect on it, fox news senior strategic analyst retired four-tar general, jack keane thesis which i outlined in the beginning of the show is vladimir putin wants this. he's delighted by this. i think this is a president who is not easily distracted by all this stuff and he's able to do a heck of a lot on the interest thanksal and economic front. but that said, we have a congress who can't do anything. they can't come up with any policy and get it through because they are freaked out by this and this is consuming them and the left is with divided as a nation. if you were vladimir putin wouldn't you want us in that spot? >> he succeed beyond any expectation he may have had. he has been undermining western democracies. he's trying to get people to lose confidence in it. he resents the united states global hegemon we have had for a number of years. for a modest effort, even thought it was systematic he was able to achieve just that. we have had half a dozen special investigations. we had a special investigation that hung over the presidency for 2 1/2 years. he has managed

and, you know, general jack keane had an interesting comment.said what the president is doing is really working and working pretty darn well. so we ought not to at this stage engage in provocation. we ought to let it settle and wait a little bit. what do you think? >> well, that would be our strategy, but let's look at the iranian strategy. they know, for example, that we are putting a immense pressure on them. they know that it's boiling underneath. there are many iranians unhappy with this, and at one point -- as it was in 2009 -- there will be an explosion. so what is it they are doing right now. they know they cannot do and engage in a full-fledged scale war with us, that's for sure. so what they're trying to do is trigger us to respond in a limited fashion so they can go to international community and say, look, we are at risk, let's go to some sort of agreement and stop us from continuing -- gregg: right. so, k.t., it's sort of the iranians are setting a provocation trap right now. >> yeah. gregg: and at the same time, you know, they're tr

jack keane is here. general, always good to have you. iran does what they want.france, they wanted to stick to that rouge natural nuclear deal. hoping to keep it together. wagging his finger at them today. you have to stop this. they don't stop it. what happens? >> this is the most determined foe the united states has had in decades. they had their way with most administrations, whether it's republican or democrat for years. when president trump has done, he's created a strategic offensive campaign of maximum pressure on iranians and they have never been in this position quite before. where their economy is so adversely affected by those sanctions that the iranians are trying to get the europeans, the asians to put pressure on the united states to back off on the sanctions. disrupting the oil flow, shooting down a drone was part of that story. they got caught at it. indisputable evidence. that backfired. so now they're trying to threaten enriching uranium beyond the restriction that is imposed in the nuclear deal. what is the reason for that? they want to get the

let's ask retired four-star army general jack keane who is a fox news senior strategic analyst.to have you here. after this week of diplomacy with north korea and that historic moment on the dmz, where do we stand with the north right now? has anything really changed substantively? >> well, yes, to a certain degree. clearly, what happened to us is after the hanoi summit sort of blew up and kim jong un went home empty-handed, because he clearly has an objective to get sanction relief -- paul: right. >> -- and long train ride home, and face saving is what he undertook and trying to regain leverage for the enshoing number ofs -- ensuing number of months. i think president trump recognized that north north korn were not coming back to table. we reached out to them through our personal envoy, secretary of state, still not coming to table, so he used personal diplomacy to help restart the talks. he took a gamble there, a chance, and i think it worked. so i think we should give him credit for that. now, the other thing is that they've agreed to work at the staff level in groups certain

retired general jack keane says tehran is in uncharted territory. >> the mistakes they're making, they'restunning, and i haven't seen it before. look what happened to them, they sabotaged six tankers, and we caught them at it, indisputable evidence. they backed away from that, they shot down an american drone, tactical commander did it without authorization. the president, as opposed to taking a kinetic response, didn't do that. that helped unite the international community with us. connell: lucas tomlinson picks up reporting this evening from the pentagon. lucas? >> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo spoke in ecuador earlier today where he said the u.s. is willing to speak to iran if it stops its provocations in the persian gulf which has escalated over the past two months. >> the iranian regime has to make a decision that it wants to behave like a normal nation. and if they do that, we're prepared to negotiate across a broad spectrum of issues with no preconditions. i hope that they will do that, but today we have seen no indication cans that the iranians are prepared to fundament
