Vice President J.D. Vance has pushed back against comparisons between US airstrikes on Iran and previous American wars in the Middle East, claiming that this time Washington’s actions are truly limited and rooted in national security objectives – not a drive for regime change.
In an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Vance emphasized that “we’re not at war with Iran – we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program,”describing the overnight strike as “a very precise, very surgical” operation that allegedly dismantled Tehran’s nuclear capabilities.
