The United States would not have launched a war against Iran if the current Vice President, J. D. Vance, were president, American journalist Tucker Carlson has said.
"If Vance were president, we would not be at a war with Iran. It’s impossible for me to imagine Vance standing up and saying, We need to have two wars to defeat a phantom nuclear program. It’s too insane. He has too much self-respect to say something like that. I don’t think he believes it. Vance would have led the Republican Party into closer alignment with its own voters, but he was not the president" he said.
When asked whether Vance could win the next presidential election, Carlson replied: "We’ll see. I wish he had been elected president in 2024, but that didn’t happen".
