The US will use military, economic and diplomatic tools to bring the Iran conflict to a resolution, Vice President JD Vance tells Fox News, according to Anadolu.

Vance expressed hope for a settlement of the conflict, but said, “It’s going to be messy and it’s gonna take some time to get there — but we’ll land”. He added that the oil prices will “come down and stay down.”

“Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and the United States will be in a stronger position,” he said.

“But we’re going to use all the tools that we have — military, economic, diplomatic — to make sure we bring this thing to the right resolution,” Vance said.
