Gen Jack Keane Sounds Alarm: Iran Nuke Would Trigger Nuclear Arms RacePosted on June 9, 2025 Gen Jack Keane on Life, Liberty and Levin. “If they get a nuclear weapon, we are in then a nuclear arms race and the Arabs will get those weapons as quickly as possible. And my friend Henry Kissinger warned me and he said, Jack, the greatest danger I think, facing the United States from World War II to the present is a nuclear arms race in the Middle east, which would likely lead his words to a nuclear exchange. He said, we can never ever let this happen. So that’s where we are and we got to put our foot down here.”
