US Vice President Vance Accuses Israel of Seeking Endless War with Iran

U.S. Vice President JD Vance asserted that certain Israeli officials are actively attempting to prolong the conflict with Iran without a time limit by manipulating American public opinion. Vance expressed his belief that a segment within the Israeli establishment is working to shape U.S. perceptions to ensure the continued engagement in hostilities.

Despite these alleged efforts, Vance indicated that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration remains resolute in its stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump is prepared to launch military campaigns against Iran if necessary, independent of any Israeli pressure, driven by a firm conviction that Tehran must not be allowed to develop nuclear arms.

“

There are a handful of people in the [Israeli government] system who we believe without a shadow of a doubt are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion so that the war [with Iran] continues indefinitely.

This situation unfolds amidst escalating tensions and military actions. Israel reportedly fears the Trump administration might lose its resolve to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, shifting focus instead to maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. military has conducted several strikes against Iran since July 8, citing retaliation for Iran's actions against commercial vessels in the Strait.

In response to the escalating conflict, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the conclusion of U.S. intervention in the region. President Trump previously stated the U.S. would act as the "guardian" of the Strait and continue its blockade of Iranian ports.

America will be the 'guardian' of the Strait of Hormuz and continue the blockade of Iranian ports.
