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.

Go vote for your Democrat and freinds then, I guess.
From an obviously compromised GOP, your viewpoint is unrealistic.
What you need is an exit ramp. From FR.
You will not do well here.
You popped back in here from 2023 and 2024. How do we know you are not a hacked account?
—————
Your gasoline prices in Kalifornee may never coming down.
I seriously doubt it.
I’ve been on this site six years longer than you. My account isn’t hacked: nice try suggesting that it is. I’m as conservative as ever, and I love America, with no allegiance to Israel.
But you aren't outspoken. You look hacked.
I like the metaphor.
Despite your longevity, you look like a hacked account. You’re not active...and you have an anti-American POV.
Is this a class now? Are you handing out report cards too?
A polite way of saying regime change is not gonna happen.
“Diesel fuel is $7 a gallon in California “
Higher than $7 in TN. I think it was $7.20 yesterday.
“Trump’s goal is to gain control of the Iranian cash flow–the oil. Once he has that, all political blocs report to Trump.”
Won’t happen under any continuation of the Mullahs Regime.
The fanatics in Iran are just like the nazis in WWII Germany. We had to bomb the Germans cities to rubble and invade with hundreds of thousands of ground troops to defeat Germany. We’ll have to do the same with Iran.
I love my country and served it proudly. Not supporting a war without a clear mission doesn’t make me anti-American , it means I think before backing conflict.
That's 20-frikken-14!
Where have you been bro. You pop up now out of nowhere and expect to push an anti-American, anti-Trump theme.
Take your Nazi-gansta stuff back to DU.
The IRGC are greedy materialists. They will buy into Trump's plan...or be cut off from the revenue stream.
With JD’s young children and another on the way, this could be an opportunity to say that he doesn’t want his kids growing up as Muslims. Personalize it, which might cause others to think about the same thing.
