US Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. expressed the administration's focus on obtaining a "verifiable commitment" from Iran to prevent it from rebuilding its nuclear program. Speaking at a town hall on CBS News, Biden stated that Washington had "decisively won" the war against Iran and destroyed the country's nuclear capabilities. He emphasized the need to ensure Iran does not resume its nuclear arsenal within the next five years.

He blamed Iran for attempting to choke off the world's energy supply, stating that the US Navy had kept oil and gas flowing despite Iran's efforts.
