ABOARD AIR FORCE TWO — Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that while military strikes against Iran remain under consideration by President Donald Trump, there is “no chance” that such strikes would result in the United States becoming involved in a years-long, drawn-out war. He said Thursday that he still sees himself as a “skeptic of foreign military interventions,” a description he believes continues to apply to Trump. “I think we all prefer the diplomatic option,” Vance said. “But I think Donald Trump is an ‘America First’ president, and he pursues policies that work for the American people. Just because one president screwed up a military conflict doesn’t mean we can never engage in military conflict again.
