Vance doubted Iran strike, signaling a White House rift

Two senior Trump officials told POLITICO that Vice President JD Vance was skeptical of a U.S. strike on Iran, worried about its success and opposed to the war, even as aides said he would present multiple angles and remained on board after a decision was made. The disclosures highlight Vance’s long-standing war-skepticism and have fueled talk of a rift with Trump, though he has publicly defended the operation and has a history of caution on foreign interventions.
