US Vice President JD Vance explained the US's actions against Iran, explaining that every target being struck is connected to the administration's goals.

"What the President has done very, very capably is said we're going to use military force in this situation when it's connected to something we're trying to achieve... But we're not just going to do something open-ended, indefinitely... We're going to try to use our military force as one of the many tools that we have to solve the problem."
