US Vice President JD Vance says the war will not become a quagmire for Washington, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, Al Jazeera reports.

“I feel extremely confident that we are not going to be talking about America’s involvement in Iran even a year down the road, but certainly not years down the road,” Vance tells USA Today. “I think that we’re going to be successful. If this diplomacy ultimately falls apart, then the president has further tools at his disposal.

“But so long as we keep this thing anchored to the core mission — prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon — it’s not going to become a quagmire,” he adds
