US vice president: No timeline for ending conflict with Iran as attacks on ships continue
US Vice President J.D. Vance says fighting with Iran will persist as long as Iranian attacks on ships continue, declining to set an end date.
US Vice President J.D. Vance has stated that the conflict with Iran will continue indefinitely, as long as Iranian attacks on ships persist. He has not provided a specific end date for the ongoing operations, emphasizing that these efforts are contingent upon the nature of the Iranian attacks on vessels. At a press conference, Vance described the main combat operations as lasting approximately six weeks, which he claims achieved their intended goals.
Refusing to label the situation with Iran as a war, Vance declined to offer a timeline for the cessation of hostilities. He argued that the pressing question at hand is when Tehran will cease targeting ships. The US position, according to Vance, is currently centered on evaluating the nature of Iranian attacks against maritime navigation and determining the level of threat they pose to energy markets.
He noted that Washington is closely monitoring the developments of these attacks and assessing their impact on shipping and energy markets.
