Vance Says Trump Pulled Hat Trick in 12-Day War Victory Establishing Trump Doctrine
Vice President JD Vance told Breitbart News exclusively that all of the critics from every direction of President Donald Trump, after his massive success in ending the "12-day war" between Israel and Iran, culminating with U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, need to just "let him cook."
Vance phoned Breitbart News on Tuesday afternoon from the road as he sets out to conduct a series of interviews explaining the new "Trump Doctrine" of foreign policy that he says the president displayed this past two weeks. The war ended in Trumpian fashion on Tuesday morning after the president had ordered U.S. airstrikes from B2 bombers and other platforms to wipe out Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday. That Trump decision for U.S. involvement came a little over a week after Israel began its own strikes on the Islamic Republic of Iran's leadership and nuclear sites, and then in response the Iranians fired off a handful of missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar that claimed no casualties. A short time later, Trump announced late Monday that he brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel set to begin early Tuesday and despite both sides fighting it out to the very bitter deadline-and according to Trump, both sides violating it in the middle of the night after the deadline-the president was able to hold the ceasefire together and force each side to truly deescalate.
The war, which Trump has dubbed the "12-day war," is now officially over-and Vance credits Trump's approach to foreign policy as the driving force behind the success.
"So if you go back to the first Trump administration-I was actually reading some of his speeches and he's been very consistent throughout his entire administration that we can engage in America's national security interest," Vance told Breitbart News. "We can do big things to accomplish that interest. We can even, if we have to, use overwhelming military power to accomplish an American security goal but then we can get out. We don't have to have mission creep. We don't have to let a limited military operation turn into a five year war. And what I think is kind of amazing is that the President threaded the needle between two camps, people who were so worried about a Middle Eastern quagmire that they, frankly, would have let Iran have a nuclear weapon, and people who are so obsessed with what's going on in the Middle East that they would have happily put 100,000 American boots on the ground."..............................
