Protection Secretary Pete Hegseth mentioned Sunday that America “does not seek war” with Iran within the aftermath of a shock assault in a single day on three of that nation’s nuclear websites whereas Vice President JD Vance mentioned the strikes have given Tehran a renewed likelihood of negotiating with Washington.


Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine speaks throughout a information convention on the Pentagon on June 22 after the U.S. army struck three websites in Iran.

“This mission was not and has not been about regime change,” Hegseth added.

Caine mentioned the objective of the operation — destroying nuclear websites in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan — had been achieved.

“Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction,” Caine mentioned.

Vance mentioned in a tv interview that whereas he wouldn’t focus on “sensitive intelligence about what we’ve seen on the ground,” he felt “very confident that we’ve substantially delayed their development of a nuclear weapon.”

Pressed additional, he advised NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “I think that we have really pushed their program back by a very long time. I think that it’s going to be many many years before the Iranians are able to develop a nuclear weapon.”

The vp mentioned the U.S. had “negotiated aggressively’ with Iran to try to find a peaceful settlement and that Trump made his decision after assessing the Iranians were not acting “in good faith.”

“I truly assume it gives a chance to reset this relationship, reset these negotiations and get us in a spot the place Iran can determine to not be a menace to its neighbors, to not a menace to america and in the event that they’re prepared to try this, america is all ears,” Vance mentioned.

He mentioned it will make sense for Iran to come back to the negotiating desk and quit their nuclear weapons program over the long run. “If they’re willing to do that, they’re going to find a willing partner in the United States of America,” he mentioned, describing a attainable likelihood of a “reset” for Tehran.

A lot of the world is absorbing the results of the strikes and the chance that they may result in extra combating throughout the Center East after the United States inserted itself into the conflict between Israel and Iran.

The Pentagon briefing didn’t present any new particulars about Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Hegseth mentioned the timeline was the results of a schedule set by President Donald Trump for talks with Iran about its nuclear ambitions.

“Iran found out” that when Trump “says 60 days that he seeks peace and negotiation, he means 60 days of peace and negotiation,” Hegseth said. “Otherwise, that nuclear program, that new nuclear capability will not exist. He meant it.”

That assertion was difficult because the White Home had prompt final Thursday that Trump may take as a lot as two weeks to find out whether or not to strike Iran or proceed to pursue negotiations. However the U.S. benefited from Iran’s weakened air defenses because it was capable of conduct the assaults with out resistance from Iran.
