Vance said the conflict will likely end with the US in a stronger position, Iran without a nuclear weapon, and the Strait of Hormuz restored to stable oil and gas conditions for Americans.

Iran

Armed conflict

Squeezing the Strait of Hormuz is smart strategy, not war-mongering. Choking Iran's oil money and freezing its assets forces Tehran to abandon its nuclear program without another shot fired. Draining the regime dry while keeping global oil steady is how America wins without a prolonged war.

United States Position

Trump sold the Iran conflict as stopping a nuke, yet Vance just admitted cheap gas ranks above nonproliferation. That flip hands Tehran leverage it never had before, since Washington basically confessed gas prices matter more than a nuclear Iran. Priorities shifted overnight and the world noticed.
