The following is a transcript of an interview with General Joseph Votel, who served as the commander of the U.S. Central command from 2016 to 2019, overseeing military operations in the Middle East, that aired on Oct. 29, 2023.
MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to General Joseph Votel, former CENTCOM commander overseeing operations in the Middle East. General, it's good to have you with us. I want to pick up where we left off with the National Security Adviser. He said, The US has elevated threats against US forces, elevated risk of the conflict spreading. What are the trigger points you are concerned about?GEN.
Well, it's very clear. I mean, Iran is behind this. Their- their- their elements in Iraq and to some extent in Syria, are perpetrating these attacks. And as the National Security Adviser said, we've got to- we've got to hold them accountable for that. And so it is critically important to not just be responsive, but to be directly responsive, to be forceful in our manner.
