Vice President JD Vance tried to calm the anti-war factions of the Republican Party, who are worried that President Trump may get the U.S. involved in the conflict between Iran and Israel, saying that his boss has shown restraint and consistency in opposing Iran developing its nuclear capabilities.

"Giving up entirely," Trump told reporters early on Tuesday. "Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it's very simple." The air war between Iran and U.S. ally Israel - which began on Friday when Israel attacked Iran with airstrikes - has raised alarms in a region that had already been on edge since the start of Israel's military assault on Gaza in October 2023.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has spent almost four decades as Shi'ite Iran's supreme leader building a regional power to rival the Sunni states across the Gulf and implacably hostile to the U.S. and Israel - while crushing repeated unrest at home.

In connection with the Israeli air campaign, the Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, has been operating on Iranian soil and targeting senior Iranian nuclear scientists and military officers in an attempt to shatter the Iranian military’s chain of command.

Israeli special operations veteran Aaron Cohen joins 'The Faulkner Focus' to weigh in on President Donald Trump's assertion that Iran is not winning the war against Israel and Iran's 'reckless' attacks.
