US Vice President JD Vance revealed in an exclusive interview with the New York Post that the military confrontation between the United States and Iran is expected to end immediately after the midterm elections, within about two months. Vance backed President Donald Trump's position and stated that within two months the fighting will enter a completely different phase. According to him, the president as commander-in-chief is the one who determines when conflicts begin and when they end. The vice president addressed internal criticism in the US over the prolonged fighting and the economic and military cost, and understood the public's impatience, but clarified that the US is not conducting aggressive operations. He described current Iranian activity as a limited nuisance, including firing at commercial ships usually without success, which does not change the strategic picture. The statement comes against a backdrop of months of high security tensions in the Gulf region, which included damage to shipping lanes and exchanges of strikes, at a politically sensitive time ahead of the vote at the polls.
