newYou can now listen to Fox News!
On Sunday, Vice president JD Vance said that America is “not in war with Iran”, but rather is in a state of war with the Iranian nuclear program, which was “largely” by the United States.
In his appearance on “this week” from ABC, Vans praised “the decisive work of President Donald Trump by destroying the program” and expressed “an incredible amount of gratitude” to the American forces, which, he says, thousands of miles flew on a 30 -hour wash. ”
“There is no army in the world with training, skills and equipment needed to do what these men did last night,” Vans said. “I know that the president is very proud of them, and I think what they did is to achieve the very basic American national goal. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapons program. The president was very clear on this issue, thanks to the courage, efficiency and skill of our great pilots and everyone who supported this task, we took a big step to move forward on that national night.”
Vans was hesitant to detect a lot of sensitive information about the mission, which was reported that included 125 aircraft.

Jonathan Karl from ABC, Vice President, asked, “Can you categorically say that the Iranian nuclear program has been destroyed now?”
“I do not want to go into sensitive intelligence here, but we know that we are restoring the Iranian nuclear program to a large extent last night. Whether it is years or after that, we know that it will be a very long time before Iran can build a nuclear weapon if they want to.”
When clicking on the damage, the vice president again refused to reveal sensitive intelligence, but he added: “I feel very confident, and I can tell the American people with great confidence that they are far from a nuclear program today from what they were 24 hours ago.”
“This was the goal of the task – to destroy this nuclear site Fordo – of course, causing some damage to other sites,” he said. “But we are very confident that the nuclear site is firmly reinforced and this was our goal.”

Vans told NBC separately that the United States has participated in a diplomatic process with the Iranians to no avail until almost mid -May when Trump decided to “make some special warnings to the Iranians.”

“My message to the Iranians is that it will be the most stupid in the world,” Vans said of the possible revenge after the US strikes. “If you look at what happened last night, we had an incredibly targeted surgical blow to the nuclear installations that are the goal of the American process. Our national interest is not to get a nuclear weapon. Our strike has facilitated last night that this national goal.
Vans repeated how Trump mentioned in his speech late Saturday night from the White House that the United States wanted Iran to give up its nuclear program safely – but allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon that is still outside the table.

“There is no way because the United States will allow Iran with a nuclear weapon. Therefore, they must really choose a path.” “Will they go to the path of continuous war, financing terrorism, and searching for nuclear weapons? Or will they work with us to give up nuclear weapons permanently? If they are ready to choose the smart path, then they will surely find a partner prepared in the United States to dismantle this nuclear weapons program.”
He also issued a warning.
“But if they decide that they will attack our forces, if they decide that they will continue to try to build a nuclear weapon. Then we will respond to it overwhelmingly. So what happens after that returns to the Iranians.”

Trump warned on Saturday that “any revenge against Iran against the United States of America will meet much more power than tonight.” The US military has carried out “huge precise strikes” on the three major nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Spohan, “Trump said for years that” terriblely destroyed “and has now” completely erased it. ”
