Vice President JD Vance meets with members of the National Guard at Union Station in Washington, Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025

US Vice President JD Vance tried to explain the chaos of US aggression against Iran, naming two main goals in the war.“Goal number one, keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country,” Vance said.“Goal number two is ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.”Iran was not building a nuclear weapon, according to the US intelligence community’s own assessment.

And the Strait of Hormuz was open before the US launched its aggression against Iran.
