Bombshell Leaks Seek To Distance 'Skeptical' JD Vance From Iran War

Media reports this week have painted Vice President JD Vance as an Iran war skeptic who from the start of Operation Epic Fury quietly worked behind the scenes to bring about de-escalation.

The New York Times said in a Thursday report that he sought direct insight from American generals on how the war is going, fearing that further wrong steps and escalation would ensure a quagmire akin to America's 'forever wars' in Iraq and Afghanistan. This new array of 'leaks' to the press are just as much about shaping political optics than anything else.
