JD Vance reportedly expressed doubts about US strikes on Iran before later supporting Donald Trump’s decision to launch the operation.
JD Vance privately expressed skepticism about the United States launching military strikes against Iran before Donald Trump approved the operation, according to senior White House officials. The vice president reportedly questioned the chances of success and warned about the risks of another prolonged conflict abroad.
Despite his earlier reservations, Vance later publicly defended the administration’s actions and said he fully supports the president’s decision. Officials said his role in the administration includes presenting different viewpoints during policy discussions, but he ultimately backed the final decision once the strikes were approved.
