US strikes Iran’s nuclear sites, says war is with weapons programme, not people: Vice President JD Vance

US Vice President JD Vance has clarified that America is not at war with Iran, but with its nuclear weapons programme. Following President Donald Trumps order to bomb three key nuclear facilities, Vance said the strikes significantly set Irans nuclear progress back “by many years”. The targeted strikes mark a major military shift and come amid rising Middle East tensions. While Trump claimed the sites were “obliterated”, Vance urged diplomacy to follow. Tehran has warned of retaliation, and the UN has expressed alarm.
