Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence says the United States must prepare for what he calls “inevitable” further action against Iran. He argues the U.S. should keep military pressure on and maintain assets in the region so it can carry out additional strikes if needed.

Both outlets report Pence’s comments as part of his broader call for sustained deterrence. The coverage presents his view that additional steps are likely, though it does not specify timing, targets, or whether any new action would be legislative or authorized through existing frameworks. The reports emphasize the need for readiness, including keeping U.S. military capabilities positioned in the region.

While the outlets align on Pence’s central message—continued pressure and regional military readiness—they offer limited additional context beyond his characterization of future action as inevitable.
