WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance said that Washington’s top priority amid its ongoing conflict with Iran is to keep oil and gas prices low, while its second priority is preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
In an interview with US television, Vance said the United States was moving toward achieving both objectives during the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Vance described the situation as uncertain and complex, saying Iranians can sometimes act unpredictably and fail to honor commitments they have previously made.
He said the uncertainty makes it difficult to predict what will happen next regarding Iran, but the United States is closely monitoring developments while pursuing its stated priorities.
