During an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, Vice President JD Vance addressed the potential confusion surrounding President Trump’s remarks about Iran. Vance reiterated that the primary mission of U.S. military involvement was the destruction of Iran's nuclear facilities, not regime change. He acknowledged Trump's comments but stressed that any regime change should be determined by the Iranian people. Vance also highlighted a potential shift towards peace in the region, with Gulf Arab states seeking to invest and develop technology following the recent conflict.
Well, Bret, what I have said is the American military, that is not our mission, is regime change. Our mission was to destroy the nuclear facilities and the nuclear program of Iran, which we, of course, did.
What the American national security interest here is very simple. It's to destroy the nuclear program. That's what we have done. And now that the 12-day war appears to be effectively over, we have an opportunity, I think, to restart a real peace process.
