Vice President JD Vance addressed the resignation of top intelligence aide Joe Kent and divisions within President Trump's base over the U.S. operation in Iran, stating that "nobody likes war and the president of the United States is not interested in engaging in long-term quagmires like we've seen in years past. Vance also acknowledged that he knows and liked Kent but disagreed with the president's decision to proceed with the Iran operation. He said that when the president makes a decision, it's up to everyone in his administration to implement it.
