Vance: US Iran conflict will enter a new phase after midterm elections

US Vice President Vance told the New York Post that the US Iran conflict will enter different stages within a few months and may end after the midterm elections. Vance said that shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is recovering, Iran's control is weakening, and the current transportation volume has rebounded to over 50% of normal levels. At present, the United States has not taken any offensive actions and has only responded to Iran's attacks on merchant ships. Vance outlined a two-stage plan: the first stage is to destroy Iran's nuclear program and weaken its conventional forces and regional strike capabilities; The second stage is to prevent Iran from rebuilding these capabilities and maintain regional stability. The subsequent trend depends on whether Trump increases actions after the midterm elections or whether Iran seeks to reach an agreement. (Source: New York Post)
