U.S. Achieves Military Goals in Iran, Says Vice President Vance

Vance said the campaign hit dozens of military targets and that no U.S. troops were on the ground as Iran faced new airstrikes.

  • On Tuesday in Budapest, Vice President JD Vance stated that the United States has "largely accomplished its military objectives in Iran," speaking alongside Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
  • An intense wave of strikes was reported Tuesday on bridges across Iran and Kharg Island, with US officials noting the mission "did not strike the oil" but targeted military bunkers and air defence systems.
  • Vance initially appeared unaware of the Kharg Island strikes until reporters informed him during the press conference, later confirming he had received a message from Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff about the operations.
  • President Donald Trump set an 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline for Iran to make a deal, warning "a whole civilization will die tonight" if no proposal emerged; Vance expressed confidence a response would arrive by then.
  • The administration aims to ensure oil and gas flow freely as a diplomatic resolution; Kharg Island remains indispensable for Iran's energy trade, handling nearly 90 per cent of its oil exports.
