"Well, I don't think the president said that. I think that's a misrepresentation of what the president said, but look, I agree with the president that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon, Vance replied, adding: We're obviously engaged in a very aggressive and very engaged diplomatic process to try to ensure that that doesn't happen. And the President has a lot of options, as he said repeatedly. There are options diplomatically, there are options on the military side."
"But the fundamental goal here is the President wants to make the world safe, but particularly the American people safe from Iran having a nuclear weapon. And one final point I'll say on that is, nuclear proliferation is one of those challenges that people don't realize is the biggest threat to America's national security, and it's not obvious until it is. Because what happens if Iran gets a nuclear weapon? Then multiple Gulf Arab countries are gonna want to get a nuclear weapon. Then multiple countries from there are gonna want to get a nuclear weapon."
"The goal of preventing nuclear proliferation is probably the single most important thing that we can do to keep our people safe for the long term. It's absolutely a worthy goal all these challenges simultaneously. While leaving the White House on Tuesday afternoon, Trump told reporters, The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran is that they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about any"
JD Vance said President Donald Trump did not make a specific claim attributed to him about ignoring Americans’ financial situations when deciding how to approach Iran. Vance agreed that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon and pointed to an aggressive diplomatic effort to prevent that outcome. He said the president has multiple options, including diplomatic and military approaches, while emphasizing the goal of keeping Americans safe from Iran’s nuclear capability. Vance also argued that nuclear proliferation poses a major threat to national security, warning that if Iran gains nuclear weapons, other regional states could seek them as well. He presented preventing proliferation as a top long-term priority. Trump previously stated that only Iran’s inability to have a nuclear weapon matters and that he does not consider Americans’ financial situation.
