VP Vance says Trump ‘may decide’ on ‘further action’ to end Iranian enrichment
Writing on X, US Vice President JD Vance says he wants to address “a lot of crazy stuff on social media” about US President Donald Trump’s approach to Iran.
Vance made the case that Trump has been consistent that “Iran cannot have uranium enrichment” and has said “repeatedly that this would happen one of two ways — the easy way or the ‘other’ way.”
“He may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment. That decision ultimately belongs to the president,” Vance adds, amid criticism from some far-right figures close to the president in recent days. “And of course, people are right to be worried about foreign entanglement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy. But I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue.”
