The U.S. vice president said airstrikes secured shipping and weakened Tehran’s military and nuclear program, creating leverage for negotiations
U.S. Vice President JD Vance defended the administration’s negotiations with Iran as being conducted “from a position of strength,” pushing back on critics who have called for continued military escalation.
Speaking at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Va., Vance said the U.S. is leveraging recent military gains to pursue diplomacy, arguing that force should only be used with clearly defined objectives. “We must never drop bombs just for the sake of dropping bombs,” he said.
