Vance: Iran should keep some of its ballistic missiles, it will need them for

US Vice President JD Vance defended President Donald Trump's stance that Iran should keep some of its ballistic missiles, arguing that it needs them for "self-defense."

Speaking at a White House press conference, Vance was asked to explain Trump's apparent shift on the issue, given that the US has previously presented the destruction of Iran's missile program as a key objective of the war.

"All the president said yesterday was that, of course, countries in the region are not giving up the right to self-defense. Israel is not giving up the right to self-defense if Hezbollah launches missiles or drones against Israel. You can't tell a country, whether it's Israel or Iran, that they're not allowed to have any self-defense," Vance said.

The vice president noted that the US destroyed a significant number of Iranian missiles and launchers during the more than three-month war./CNA
