Vance’s advisers, who spoke with us on the condition of anonymity, told us that the vice president has presented his concerns as his own rather than accusing Hegseth or Caine of misleading the president. Vance is trying, the advisers suggested, to avoid making this personal, or to create divisions in Trump’s war Cabinet. Some of Vance’s confidantes, however, believe that Hegseth’s portrayal has been so positive as to be misleading.

According to those internal estimates, Iran retains two-thirds of its air force, the bulk of its missile-launching capability, and most of its small, fast boats, which can lay mines and harass traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. At least in terms of resuming stalled maritime commerce, ‘those are the real threat,’ one person told us,” added the report. The report also revealed that Vance has brought his concerns about munitions directly to the president in meetings, which also included other top national security figures.

Why isn’t Iran using these assets and “winning”.

Take the Strait back.

Is that why almost all attacks have been basically sporadic missiles from Iran?

Geez. Could there be exaggeration? Sure. But 2/3s?

Sounds like Vance is a panican! I bet he voted for Trump 3 times too.

So you think his advisors are just going to put their names out there to be doxxed by Trump supporters? Of course not. This is strategic, so that when the war continues to drag on, Vance can distance himself when he runs in 2028.

JD needs to focus on the plum assignment Trump dropped in his lap, cutting domestic fraud to counter Rubio's foreign policy successes. That is a winning issue!

They're going to have to. The media does not get the benefit of the doubt.

Unless he has 100's of advisors, this should be easy to track (if true).


And, if true, it sounds like a leak test.

I am sure Vance's people are speaking directly to a leftist rag like The Atlantic.

They own the strait. The US can prove them wrong by moving their carriers and ships to Bahrain instead of hiding out at sea.

If they aren't winning, why do we still need to do this...

I don't think Iran is winning. But as long as the strait isn't open, in my opinion, we aren't either.
