Vice President JD Vance says the war with Iran will continue “for a little while longer” until the US and Israel can “neuter” the Islamic Republic.
“The president’s going to keep at it for a little while longer to ensure that once we leave, we don’t have to do this again for a very, very long time,” Vance told podcaster Benny Johnson.
“This country is threatening us in all these ways. They’re still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We need to neuter them for a very, very long time, and that’s the purpose.
Vance said the goal of the mission is to ensure that the US doesn’t have to go back into Iran in a “year down the road.”
“We’re taking care of business. We’re going to be out of there soon, and gas prices are going to come back down,” he concluded in an interview released Friday.
The US has already accomplished “the gross majority” if not all of the military objectives against the hardline regime, Vance said.
Higher gas prices directly resulting from the war effort — the Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most critical oil chokepoint which Tehran has a stranglehold on — are a “very, very temporary reaction to what is going to ultimately be a short term conflict,” according to the vice president.

Everything this government does is at the behest of, and benefit for, israel.
Just need to flatten the curve.
🙄
“Neutered” - another line without real strategic meaning.
As long as the Mullahs retain power, they are not “neutered”.
If you are not going to war in 100% full unconditional surrender mode, you never achieve your objectives, and extend the forever war stance indefinitely.
Regime change with Germany and Japan was necessary to end WWII. A phony war effort without that would have extended full WWII conditions indefinitely.
JD will have to distance himself from this disaster if he wants a chance to become president
Agreed.
What disaster?
Congratulations. You win the “dumbest comment of the day.” But actually not so unusual for overt Jew-haters like you.
I think you may be right here.
Watch Kharg Island.
And read "The Art of the Deal."
LOL, but you have a myopic view of Israel & the US alliance, as Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East, which is a filthy horde of Islamic trash. GTFO the internet/planet, Communist/Islamist/Globalist!
the shutdown uhmmm war will be over by Easter
Mistakes are part of life. What we need now is an exit ramp. We achieved our objective by disrupting Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Putting boots on the ground would be doubling down on a bad decision.
Trump needs to refocus on domestic issues:healthcare, borders, infrastructure, and manufacturing to create jobs.
Not good enough.
That’s California and Europe’s problem. Stupid environment.
I pay $3.299 in middle TN.
This is the most successful military action ever.
End the 47 year war THEY have waged against us. Thousands of Americans killed.
Kill da Jooz. Ya?
