Rewritten Title: US Vice President Defends Precision Strike on Nuclear Facility, Details Decision-Making Process
Rewritten Article:
In a recent revelation, the US Vice President has provided new details and a robust defense of a planned military operation against an Iranian nuclear facility, describing it as a precise and rapid action that averted a larger conflict.
A Calculated Operation
The Vice President staunchly defended the decision, characterizing the planned strike as a “surgical and swift” measure. He emphasized that the operation was designed to be executed without the deployment of ground forces, highlighting its targeted nature. While acknowledging that private disagreements existed among advisors, he presented the action as a calculated move.
Opportunity and Execution
According to the official, an opportunity was presented to Iran for the peaceful dismantling of the facilities prior to any action. “The President seized the moment,” the Vice President claimed, stating that the mission was carried out with B-2 bombers at a time when Iranian air defense was assessed to be weakened. He noted that even with advanced stealth bombers, the mission would have been high-risk against robust air defenses, underscoring the precision required. The official asserted that the action was limited to targeting a specific facility.
Containing the Crisis
The Vice President addressed concerns that the operation could have spiraled into a major escalation, potentially requiring the deployment of a hundred thousand ground troops. He expressed his confidence at the time that this would not occur, citing his awareness of the President’s decision-making process. The objective, he stated, was to secure American interests without entangling the nation in a prolonged conflict in the Middle East.
Responding to Domestic Critics
When questioned about criticisms from certain political figures, the Vice President attributed their stance to a “lack of access to classified information.” From his insider perspective, he maintained that the President managed the operation in a way that served US national security objectives while deliberately avoiding a drawn-out military engagement in the region.
