US Vice President JD Vance has announced that the United States will soon conclude its ongoing military operation in Iran and withdraw its forces. Speaking in an interview with conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, Vance said most of the country’s military objectives have already been achieved, though some actions will continue to weaken Iran’s government in the long term.

Vance explained that President plans to extend the operation briefly to ensure stability after withdrawal, emphasizing that the goal is to render Iran’s government largely ineffective for an extended period. He acknowledged that the conflict has caused a temporary rise in fuel prices but described it as a short-term effect that will normalize soon.

The vice president reiterated that the United States does not intend to maintain a long-term presence in Iran, stating that the mission will end quickly once objectives are met.
