“Nobody likes war,” says US Vice-President JD Vance, as he stresses that the U.S. President is determined to avoid prolonged military conflicts while remaining firm on a key red line — Iran must never acquire a nuclear weapon. Vance says the administration prefers diplomacy but is prepared to act if necessary, calling this the core reason behind the recent decision on Iran. Addressing internal differences after the exit of Joe Kent, he adds that while debate is encouraged, officials are ultimately expected to stand by presidential decisions or step aside.
