According to reports by the American Axios News website, on June 22 local time, US Vice President Vance and US Secretary of State Rubio praised President Trump's decision to launch an airstrike on three Iranian nuclear facilities. They also comforted Americans, stating that this operation is not the starting point of a wider conflict.
It was reported that on June 22 local time, Vance told NBC in an interview that the United States does not plan to send ground troops to Iran and has no interest in a prolonged conflict with Iran.
He called this action by the United States "a precise, surgical strike in line with America's national interests," aiming to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He said he "is not afraid" of a prolonged conflict.
Rubio also stated in an interview with CBS on the same day that the United States has no plans for further attacks on Iran unless they "cause trouble" by attacking Americans or US military installations.
Rubio claimed on June 22 that the attack was carried out after negotiations between the United States and Iran reached an impasse, but Trump administration officials are "ready to negotiate with them tomorrow."
The report shows that both parties rejected the claim that the United States and Iran are at war, and neither could confirm the extent of damage to Iran's nuclear facilities.
