U.S. Vice President JD Vance drew attention by raising the possibility of an early end to the war against Iran.

Vance said in an interview on the 27th (local time) with the podcast The Benny Show that "President Donald Trump has made it clear he is not interested in us staying in Iran for another one to two years."

Vance added, "We're going to be out of there soon (We're going to be out of there soon), and oil prices will come back down."

However, he drew a line at the possibility of an immediate full withdrawal. Vance said, "President Trump believes we have achieved most of our military objectives," but added, "The president will continue the war for a certain period after its end to make sure there is no need for long-term reengagement."

Vance is considered the top contender for the next presidential race among "MAGA (Make America Great Again)" supporters, Trump's core base. However, he is known to have taken a more cautious stance than President Trump on the start of the war against Iran.
