Vice President JD Vance stated he would not establish a specific timeline for military operations related to Iran, citing attacks in the Strait of Hormuz as justification for maintaining U.S. military engagement in the region. Vance said the administration has shifted from diplomatic to military approaches in its Iran policy. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, has experienced attacks attributed to Iranian-aligned forces.
