US Vice President JD Vance said that the US conflict with Iran will enter a “much different phase in a couple of months.”

Axar.az reports that Vance made the remark in an exclusive interview with The New York Post, agreeing with the president that the war would conclude “right after” the midterms following months of tit-for-tat strikes between Washington and Tehran.

The vice president said in a sit-down aboard Air Force Two on Monday that the Iranian regime would continue to lose control over the Strait of Hormuz until the election, now that the critical global energy chokepoint has “returned to well over 50% of normal traffic.”

“We can’t predict the future, but I think the president is right to say that this thing will enter a much different phase in a couple of months,” Vance said. “He’s also the commander in chief, so he’s the person who determines … when conflicts start and when they stop.”

It should be noted that last week, US President Donald Trump said the conflict between the United States and Iran would end immediately after the midterm elections in November.
