US VP Vance says Iran war 'will end immediately after the election' – report

US Vice President JD Vance stated in a Monday interview with The New York Post that the war with Iran would enter a "much different phase in a couple of months," specifically after the US midterm elections in November. Vance indicated that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had returned to "well over 50% of normal traffic," despite remaining below pre-war levels. He acknowledged public impatience but emphasized that the US is not engaged in aggressive operations. Vance outlined two phases for US operations: first, destroying Iran's nuclear program and military capabilities, and second, preventing their rebuilding and maintaining global stability. President Trump echoed this sentiment, stating, "I think the war will end immediately after the election because they can't hold out any longer."
