Former CENTCOM commander and CBS News contributor Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie says he agrees with former Defense Sec. Bob Gate's assessment that bombing Iran's nuclear program would, at best, delay Iran's nuclear ambitions, but not end them. "Ultimately, you need a policy decision from Iran to end the nuclear program, so I think the secretary is right in that position. Now, if you don't get a policy decision from Iran, you've got to commit yourself to perhaps revisiting striking the nuclear program."

Asked if he's surprised there’s been no Iranian retaliation yet after the U.S. strikes, former CENTCOM commander and CBS News contributor, Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie says Iranian senior leadership losses have “crippled” their decision-making: “There’s no one ready to step in." While McKenzie says he is "certain" CENTCOM is prepared for any attacks, he notes the U.S. is "certainly vulnerable" to retaliation in Iraq and Syria.

Iran policy analyst Karim Sadjadpour says he doesn’t “see any possibility of a resolution to this conflict” when asked what would happen if a negotiated settlement isn’t reached. “I think the U.S. and Iran are miles apart when it comes to their goals here,” he says. “Now, I think we could see potential cease-fire that opens the Strait of Hormuz, which would shift us back from a hot war, back to a cold war.”

When asked what comes next following the strikes on Iran, former CENTCOM commander Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie tells Margaret Brennan that “the American people should be prepared for several more days of exchanges of long-range rockets” and that “we’re still in the early stages of this campaign.” “I think we're probably going to have more casualties before this is over. I hope we can minimize those, and I know our commanders in the region are doing everything they can to keep those numbers down,” he says.

Former CENTCOM commander Gen. Frank McKenzie says the U.S. military can call the operation in Iran a success when “the Strait of Hormuz is open” and they “get some kind of deal on the ballistic missile program.” “But, I think there're very discreet things that, for me, at least from an operational military perspective, would look like victory,” he says. “I believe all of those things are actually within our grasp. We just need to continue. Iran will ultimately respond to the use of force.”

The Iranian regime and its proxies do currently have the ability to inflict damage against U.S. targets in the Middle East but “do not have the ability to gain mass effects,” says former CENTCOM commander Ret. Gen. Frank McKenzie. He says their ability to fire many dozens of rockets, missiles or drones has “been eroded steadily” since the U.S. and Israeli military campaign began, adding, “It's going to be increasingly harder for them to launch missiles and rockets.”
