"We're unable to foresee the future, but I believe the president is correct in stating that the situation will transition into a wholly different stage within a few months," Vance remarked during an interview with the New York Post.
He clarified that the conflict's progression consists of two phases, and "the first has concluded."
Vance pointed out that the initial phase included dismantling [Iran's] nuclear program, eliminating their conventional military capabilities, and eradicating their ability to project power as they could only a few years prior.
The Vice President stated that the core goal of the second phase is to "sustain as much global stability as possible" and stop Iran from bouncing back.
Vance highlighted that only US President Donald Trump, in his role as Commander-in-Chief, "decides when conflicts start and when they conclude." The Vice President additionally mentioned that the US is presently "not involved in offensive actions."
