Washington: As the US-Israeli war on Iran enters its second month, US Vice President JD Vance offered assurances that the US has no plans to stay in Iran for an extended period following its military operations. Speaking to independent journalist Ben Johnson on Friday, Vance stressed that American military involvement is limited and temporary. He emphasized that the US will complete its objectives quickly and withdraw.

According to Anadolu Agency, Vance articulated the administration’s stance clearly, stating, ‘The president has been very clear about this, (that) we’re not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, or two years down the road.’ This statement aims to assuage concerns about a prolonged military presence in the region, which has been a point of contention among both domestic and international observers.

Vance further elaborated that the US is simply taking care of business and will leave the country soon. He also addressed economic concerns, particularly related to the impact of the conflict on gas prices. ‘We’re going to be out of there soon, and gas prices are going to come back down,’ he pledged, providing some optimism regarding future economic stability.
