VP Vance: We care more about what Iran does, not what it says

Published | Video Starts at 00:24

In part two of my exclusive with Vice President J.D. vance, I asked him what it would ultimately take to get a solid deal for the United States. You know, The Iranians have not hit ships in the last couple of weeks, and the oil is flowing in the Strait of Hormuz in part because the President made very clear that if the Iranians hit ships, we were going to hit back. So, you know, it's going to take sometimes the carrot and the stick here. But, Laura, I actually think that the United States is in a great position. (00:24–00:34)

CLAIM

Asserts that recent Iranian restraint in the Strait of Hormuz is due to U.S. deterrence.
