US Vice President JD Vance says Washington has completed the first phase of its campaign against Iran and that the conflict will shift into a “much different phase” within months. Speaking to the New York Post, he says the timeline is not certain but suggests change will occur in “a couple of months.”
Vance describes the first phase as focusing on dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, reducing its conventional military capability, and limiting Tehran’s power-projection compared with “a couple of years ago.” He adds that a second phase aims to ensure Iran cannot rebuild those capabilities and to help maintain global stability.
Breitbart echoes Vance’s framing, reporting that the “first phase” is over and that the next stage is directed at preventing Iran from resuming or restoring nuclear and military capabilities. Both outlets present Vance’s comments as outlining a phased approach, without providing independent confirmation of specific operational milestones or outcomes.
