Overview

  • Vice President JD Vance said President Trump has been steadfast for over a decade in opposing any Iranian nuclear weapon and demanding an end to uranium enrichment.
  • Vance noted that Iran rejected offers for civilian nuclear power without enrichment and instead pursued uranium levels exceeding those needed for peaceful purposes.
  • He cited International Atomic Energy Agency findings that Tehran’s enrichment program breaches non-proliferation commitments and risks producing weapons-grade material.
  • Vance warned that the choice to take further action to end Iranian enrichment rests solely with President Trump.
  • He argued that Trump’s restraint has kept U.S. military efforts narrowly focused on protecting American troops and citizens.
