Former Vice President Mike Pence has said the US "stopped short" in the Iran war and urged a return to full-scale conflict, in an interview with Fox News Digital published on Thursday 12 November.
"we stopped short and didn't finish it"
Pence has made similar calls for months. His comments are political reaction and do not point to any change in US policy.
Fox News reports that Trump has made no major Iran announcement since the midterms. It says his Truth Social post on Thursday said a deal was no longer necessary but did not signal re-escalation, and that Trump has not indicated plans to re-escalate.
In a separate report, Fox News says Pence rejected JD Vance's claim that the Iran war alone cost Republicans in the midterms. Pence instead blames tariffs and corruption.
