Kenneth O'Keefe, a former U.S. Marine and combat veteran, has issued a stark warning against a potential war with Iran. Speaking from the Strait of Hormuz, O'Keefe urged American troops to refuse deployment orders, arguing that a conflict would lead to unnecessary loss of life and risk a wider regional war. His remarks, which also criticize U.S. support for Israel and military intervention in the Middle East, have sparked intense debate online amid escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.
