'How Does This End?: Vance Says Keeping Oil, Gas Cheap and Ensuring Iran Never Gets Nukes Focus of Iran Conflict

Thursday, during an appearance on FNC's "The Will Cain Show," Vice President J.D. Vance was asked how the conflict with Iran would end and what it could look like once it is over.

Vance said there were two goals for a desired outcome: low energy prices and ending Iran's potential nuclear capabilities.

Vance replied, "Well, Will, the thing I can say with confidence is, I think this ends with the United States in a stronger position, with Iran not having a nuclear weapon, and with the Strait of Hormuz returned to a place where oil and gas prices are stable for the American people. I think the issue here, Will, is that the Iranians sometimes make commitments that they don't honor. They make a deal, they don't honor the deal."

"So, I think what is really happening is that you're seeing a president of the United States at the height of his authority with a lot of tools, diplomatic, military and economic," he continued. "I know that oil is down today, and it's way down from the highs in the early days of the conflict. That's goal number one: keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country."

"And then, obviously, goal number two is ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon," Vance added. "I feel confident we're accomplishing both of those goals. But it's inherently an unpredictable thing because the Iranians themselves are unpredictable, and they sometimes don't honor the commitments they've made to us."
