US Vice President JD Vance said that keeping oil and gas prices low for Americans is now Washington's top priority in its war on Iran.
"I know that oil is down today and it's way down from the highs in the early days of the conflict," he said on Fox News. "That's goal number one - keep oil and gas cheap for Americans all over our country."
He added that the next primary focus for the US is to "ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon".
