JD Vance said he is "extremely confident" the U.S. will not still be talking about involvement in Iran a year from now, arguing the conflict will not become another Iraq- or Afghanistan-style war.
The vice president tied that confidence to a narrow objective — preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon — even as he said Trump has other tools available if diplomacy collapses.
100 days after the Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign began, the war remains stuck in a shaky ceasefire reached in April, with peace talks stalling and fresh missile, drone and cross-border attacks straining the truce.
The prolonged conflict has already pushed U.S. gas prices higher and Trump's approval ratings lower, fueling unease among a growing number of Republican lawmakers.
