JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, defended the Trump administration's strategy regarding the war with Iran in an interview with CBS News on Saturday, emphasizing its impact on fuel price fluctuations: "We have never faced a situation where the largest state sponsor of terrorism tries to cut off the world's energy supply. If we left the region and handed over control of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz to the Iranians, people would have to pay much more for gasoline, and with the end of this conflict, gas prices will decrease." Vance, who was present during last summer's negotiations with Tehran, responded to a question about the protracted nature of this battle by stating that the U.S. has achieved a "decisive victory" in some aspects, but "the Trump administration is seeking a final and firm commitment from the Iranians not to rebuild their nuclear program." According to this report, he also acknowledged some mistakes in troop deployments in response to the deaths of American soldiers in drone attacks by the IRGC in Kuwait and announced changes in Washington's military tactics to counter drones.
