President Trump said the terror had gone on long enough from Iran

Vice President JD Vance twisted the knife on Iran in the hours after a United States strike that crippled multiple nuclear facilities, telling “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker that Iran was apparently “not very good at war.” Vance began by explaining that the United States did not want to go to war with Iran, but that peace was absolutely contingent on Iran not having access to a nuclear weapon. He said that was what the targeted strike on Iran’s three nuclear facilities was meant to accomplish. “What we said to the Iranians is that we do not want war with Iran,” he said. “We actually want peace, but we want peace in the context of them not having a nuclear weapons program — and that’s exactly what the President accomplished last night.” WATCH: .@VP: “We do not want war with Iran.

The vice president went on to address claims that the United States had upended any chances at diplomacy with Iran, saying that it was the Islamic Republic that had put an end to diplomatic efforts when efforts made by the United States were not taken seriously. “The foreign minister is exactly wrong … We only took this action, Kristen, when it was clear, as the president said, that the Iranians were tapping us along.” Vance recounted the months of negotiations, noting that early on in the administration, there had been some hope that the Iranians might have actually been prepared to come to the table. But when it became clear that they were not truly giving the negotiations a chance, Vance said it became clear that the United States had to act. “They were trying to draw this process out as long as possible so that they could rebuild their nuclear weapons program without the threat of American action,” Vance explained. “We didn’t blow up the diplomacy. The diplomacy never was given a real chance by the Iranians.” “The Iranians are clearly not very good at war. Perhaps they should follow President Trump’s lead and give peace a chance,” he concluded.

Iran “tried to play” President Donald Trump, which led to U.S. strikes on three of Tehran’s nuclear facilities this weekend,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday. Rubio told anchor Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that Trump sent a letter months ago to Iran emphasizing how the regime would not be allowed to have nuclear weapons and that he wanted negotiations to achieve a peaceful resolution. But, he emphasized, that did not happen. “They tried to play him along the way they’ve played every American president for the last 35 years and the president told them, ‘If we don’t get a deal’ — which is what we wanted — ‘then I’ll have to handle it differently.’ And that’s what he did last night. He handled it differently,” Rubio said. “But that was an Iranian choice. We didn’t make that choice. They did by playing games with Donald Trump, they made a huge mistake.” Rubio declared that the world now is “safer” and “more stable” than it was 24 hours ago, prior to the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “And a bunch of these countries, putting out statements condemning us — privately, they all agree with us — that this needed to be done. They got to do what they got to do for their own public relations purposes, but the only people in the world that are unhappy about what happened in Iran last night is the regime,” Rubio said. Rubio stressed that the United States has bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to protect those countries from Iran and its terrorist network of proxy groups spread across the region. “Why does Hezbollah exist? “Why does Hamas exist? Because of Iran. How do the Houthis exist? Because of Iran. Who built the IEDs that maimed and killed American soldiers in Iraq? Iran. They’re behind every problem in this region. They are the sole source of instability in the entire Middle East. And the world has been paying a price for this for 40 something years,” Rubio said. “Imagine those people having a nuclear weapon,” he added. “Just one. Just one nuclear weapon. Or even the capability to — being on the threshold of having a nuclear weapon. That’s what the world was facing. That is unacceptable. President Trump did the world a favor last night.”
