JD Vance Calls Military Commanders for Iran War Opinions
- Vice President JD Vance contacted U.S. military commanders directly this spring and summer to request "unvarnished assessments of the Iran war," The New York Times reported Thursday.
- Vance discussed Iranian resilience in the Strait of Hormuz and requested an accounting of stockpiles to assess their impact on deterring China, Russia, and North Korea.
- President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Dan Caine, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Susie Wiles knew of the calls, which left Vance with "deep concerns about the overall strategy and the prospects for success."
- Reporters Jonathan Swan, Adam Entous, and Maggie Haberman revealed "a gulf" exists "between the sobering private assessments that Mr. Vance received and what top administration officials, including the president and vice president, have said publicly."
- Following these conversations, the vice president has "incorporated these lessons into his private talks with Mr. Trump and their inner circle," according to current and former officials who spoke to The Times.
