Mike Pence calls for U.S. and Israel to finish military operations in Iran

Former Vice President Mike Pence has called for increased military action against Iran, suggesting that the United States and its ally, Israel, will eventually need to “go in and finish the job” to secure a decisive military defeat. Speaking from Kyiv, Ukraine, Pence argued that current diplomatic efforts and ceasefire negotiations are ineffective because Iranian leadership has not yet acknowledged a total defeat.

Pence emphasized the necessity of maintaining military assets in the region and continuing both economic and military pressure. He stated that lasting peace can only be achieved with a “defeated enemy” and predicted that further deployment of forces inside Iran may become an “inevitable” next step to resolve the conflict.
