Vance: We have options if Iran tries to restart its nuclear program
Vice President Vance credits American airstrikes with significantly delaying Iran's capability to build a nuclear weapon, says Trump has “options" if the Islamic Republic tries to restart its nuclear program
Assessment
The Vice President is publicly framing U.S. military action as having bought time against Iran's nuclear ambitions. By stating that Trump has options, the administration is signaling a willingness to respond again, reinforcing a posture of deterrence. The key question is what those options would look like and at what threshold they would be triggered.
