Former CENTCOM Chief Backs Basing U.S. Assets in Israel to Counter Iran

Former U.S. CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie expressed his support for relocating U.S. military assets to Israel to better address the threats posed by Iran. He advocates for a strategic shift in the military presence in the Middle East, aiming to enhance security cooperation in the region.

McKenzie made these remarks during an event hosted by the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA). His proposals reflect growing concerns over Iranian influence and activities that could destabilize the Middle East and threaten U.S. allies.
