Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) said Monday that Iran is "on the move" in the Middle East and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not going to allow a continued build-up of forces along his borders.
Israel shot down an Iranian drone over the weekend after the aircraft crossed into its territory from Syria. Damascus claims the drone was being used to go after ISIS.
Subsequent raids targeted Iranian military assets in Syria, while one Israeli F-16 was downed.
"Israel is seeking peace, but we will continue to defend ourselves against any attack against us, and against any attempt by Iran to establish military bases in Syria or anywhere else," Netanyahu said.
Keane, a Fox News military analyst, said on "America's Newsroom" that he views a new war as a distinct possibility in the region. He said Hezbollah already possesses, through Iran's support, 160,000 rockets and missiles in Lebanon.
