Vice President JD Vance announced Tuesday that the war with Iran is expected to conclude “very shortly,” declaring that the United States has already largely achieved its military objectives.
Speaking from Budapest alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Vance made it clear that the United States’ military campaign against the radical Iranian regime is on the verge of total victory.
President Trump on Monday told reporters that Iran could be completely wiped out in “one night” and that he plans to bring “complete demolition” by midnight.
Vance also laid out the stark reality facing Tehran:
- Accept U.S. terms and end the war
- Refuse — and face escalating economic and military devastation
JD Vance:
“And first of all, the United States has largely accomplished its military objectives. There are still some things that we’d like to do—for example, on Iran’s ability to manufacture weapons—that we’d like to do a little bit more work on militarily. But fundamentally, the military objectives of the United States have been completed. So that means, as the president has said, very shortly this war is going to conclude. And I think the nature of the conclusion is ultimately up to the Iranians.“I think there really are two pathways, and I’m oversimplifying this a little bit. But I think pathway one is where the Iranians decide they’re going to be a normal country. They’re not going to fund terrorism anymore. They’re going to be part of the world system of commerce and exchange. And that’s going to mean much better things for them economically.
“It’s going to mean better things for the peace and safety of the world. It’s going to mean a lot of good things for a lot of people all over the planet. That’s option A, okay?
“Option B is if the Iranians don’t come to the table and they stay committed to terrorism—to terrorizing their neighbors, not just Israel but, of course, their Arab neighbors too—then the economic situation in Iran is going to continue to be very, very bad, and frankly, it will probably get worse. And so, what the president has asked his entire team to do—particularly Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—is to figure out what are the contours of a potential deal.
