"We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program. I think that we have really pushed their program back by a very long time. I think that it's going to be many, many years before the Iranians are going to be able to develop a nuclear weapon."
"We don't want a regime change. We do not want to protract this... We want to end the nuclear program, and then we want to talk to the Iranians about a long-term settlement here." JD Vance also emphasised the US "had no interest in boots on the ground."
