US Vice President JD Vance says Iran is no longer able to build a nuclear weapon after Sunday’s strike against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites.
“Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon… Now Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they have because we destroyed it,” Vance tells Fox News in an interview.
Vance says the next six hours will see Israel and Iran finalizing their strikes against one another.
With Iran’s nuclear program “obliterated” the US hopes that Tehran will not try to rebuild it, Vance says.
The US now seeks to “build a long-term settlement… where you can have peace in the region,” Vance adds.
If Iran wants to build nuclear weapons in the future, it will have to deal with the US military again, he warns.
