Mike Pence Urges U.S. Military Preparedness for Action Against Iran
Former Vice President Mike Pence has called for the United States to maintain military readiness for potential further strikes against Iran, describing such action as 'inevitable.' Speaking on Sunday, Pence stressed the importance of keeping military assets in the region prepared for potential operations.
Pence's comments align with his previous statements advocating for a robust military posture towards Iran. In a June interview with RealClearPolitics, Pence suggested that the U.S. might benefit from allowing armed forces to 'finish the job' in Iran. Additionally, during an August appearance on Fox News, he urged for decisive military action to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
The Pentagon has reportedly been preparing for possible extended ground operations in Iran, with thousands of U.S. soldiers and Marines already deployed to the region. This preparation underscores the seriousness with which U.S. military planners are approaching the potential for conflict.
