Vance says US war on Iran will enter 'much different phase' in coming months

US Vice President JD Vance said that Washington has completed its objectives for the first phase of the war on iran, adding that the conflict will enter a new one in the coming months.

"We can’t predict the future, but I think the president is right to say that this thing will enter a much different phase in a couple of months," he told the New York Post. 

"There are really two phases to this thing, and the first phase is done," Vance said. "The first phase was destroy the nuclear program, destroy their conventional military, destroy their ability to project power in a way that they were able to even a couple of years ago."

He added that the second phase would ensure that Tehran is "not able to rebuild and try to maintain as much global stability in the wake of that".
