Vance said that the United States had successfully set back Iran’s nuclear weapons program, adding that President Trump now hopes to pursue a diplomatic solution.
“I don’t want to get into sensitive intelligence here, but we know that we set the Iranian nuclear program back substantially last night, whether it’s years or beyond,” he told ABC.
“We’re not at war with Iran — we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program,” he added. “And I think the president took decisive action to destroy that program last night,” Vance said.
Trump said he had “obliterated” Iran’s main nuclear sites in strikes overnight with massive bunker busting bombs, joining an Israeli assault in a significant new escalation of conflict in the Middle East.
Tehran vowed to defend itself, and responded with a volley of missiles at Israel that wounded scores of people and destroyed buildings in its commercial hub Tel Aviv.The U.S. strikes, with bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles, push the Middle East to the brink of a major new conflagration in a region already aflame for more than 20 months with wars in Gaza and Lebanon and a toppled dictator in Syria.Israel has long said its aim was to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme. But only the United States possesses the massive 30,000-pound bombs – and the huge batwing B2 bombers that drop them – designed to destroy targets like Iran’s most sensitive uranium enrichment plan at Fordow built beneath a mountain.
During the past nine days of war, Israel killed much of Iran’s military leadership and spoke of pressing on until it topples the Islamic Republic’s clerical rulers.
