One of the lessons from the war with Iran was that the country’s leadership is “really, really crazy” and is willing to take extreme measures to disrupt the flow of oil and gas in the Gulf, US Vice President JD Vance told Fox News in an interview on Monday night.
According to Vance, the United States is now at a stage where a significant portion of its activity in the region is aimed at ensuring freedom of navigation and trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
“What strikes me as strange is that sometimes they even fire on their own allies, just to prevent the free flow of oil and gas,” Vance said.
