In the first statements from the US attack on Iranian nuclear installations, JD Vance Vice President stressed that the US is not in war with Iran, CNN.com reports.
“We are not at war with Iran. We are at war with the nuclear program of Iran,” JD Vance said in an interview with the NBC, the US Vice-President claiming that the attack is “a proof of the power of the American army.”
Asked what was the information that led to the decision to hit the sites in Iran, Vance invoked “a short -term opportunity window”
“I had a short-term opportunity window. It was possible that in six months we could no longer wear this attack. I had a short-term window in which I could give back that program. I think it would have been irresponsible from the president to act as he did,” said Vance.

He said that the attack was motivated by the recent Iran's position on its nuclear program.
“Of course we trust our information community, but Avel also trusts our instincts. The Iranians have ceased to negotiate with good faith, this was the true catalyst,” added Trump's vice -president.
Vance suggested that Trump concluded that he had to authorize the attacks after issuing what he called “private ultimatums” to Iran. The Vice -President refused to detail what those ultimatums found.
