According to Lianhe Zaobao citing Reuters and AFP, U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday defended diplomatic efforts with Iran, arguing that military force alone cannot win a war against the country. In a podcast interview on July 15, Vance said, "You can bomb them, destroy their radar, eliminate some of their drones and missiles, and it's too easy to fire at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. But you must be genuinely willing to engage in dialogue and try to resolve this issue." He expressed disappointment with Americans and others who say "you cannot negotiate with Iranians."
