Vance: Iran’s leaders are 'really crazy'
Vice President JD Vance calls Iran’s leaders “really crazy", says US is working to keep oil and commercial traffic moving through Hormuz.
US Vice President JD Vance stated in an interview that Iran's leadership is "really, really crazy" and willing to take extreme measures to disrupt Gulf shipping. The US is now focused on ensuring freedom of navigation and trade through the Strait of Hormuz, with a significant portion of its activity in the region dedicated to this purpose.
Vance revealed that the US recently responded to Iranians who were allegedly preparing to lay mines in the strait. He expressed surprise that Iranians sometimes fire on their allies just to impede the flow of oil and gas. The US military recently struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island after IRGC forces were seen preparing to fire towards the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first US strike on Iran in weeks.
