U.S. isn’t at war with Iran, ‘we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program,’ Vance says

Vice President JD Vance insisted Sunday that the United States is not at war with Iran, but with “Iran’s nuclear program,” hours after the United States’ late-night strikes on three of the country’s nuclear sites.

Vance’s remarks come soon after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Iran’s “nuclear ambitions have been obliterated,” following the Trump administration’s strikes on facilities at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.
