‘Finish The Job’: Mike Pence Calls To ‘Unleash’ American, Israeli Armed Forces In Iran

Former Vice President Mike Pence made calls to escalate the war in Iran, urging both American and Israeli armed forces to “finish the job.”

Pence commended his former running mate President Donald Trump’s ongoing war with Iran, praising his willingness to attack and project force against the regime. This comes after Trump announced that negotiations have resumed despite ongoing strikes in the region.

“I honestly think that the time has come for the president of the United States to unleash the armed forces of the United States,” Pence told Fox News in an interview Monday. “Strike the remaining nuclear facilities in Iran. Take down and degrade their ability to project force, not only in the strait, but across the region.”

“One does not make peace with one’s enemy, one makes peace with one’s defeated enemy. And given their posture and their attitudes and even denying that negotiations are happening, I have every confidence that there will come a moment where my old running mate has had enough.”

Amid this military standoff, Pence called for America and “Israel,” which he described as “our ally,” to escalate their joint attack on Iran, once again praising Trump’s decision to strike the regime in the first place.

“I don’t think you can understate the significance of his decision last year to strike Iran directly for the first time in the history of our relationship with the regime in Tehran,” Pence said.

“Unleashing our armed forces in Operation Epic Fury was historic, but now we’ve got to let our armed forces and our ally Israel finish the job, and I believe we can.”

Trump maintained that the peace talks were taking place despite Iranian leadership disputing his claims, calling the regime “unbelievably duplicitous.” (RELATED: Poll Asks Americans If They Think Iran War’s ‘Worth Fighting.’ The Results Are Brutal)

“They ask for a meeting, some would say ‘beg,’ talks begin, with more scheduled in the immediate future, and they say, openly and proudly, that they’re not having discussions, that nothing is being talked about, and they’re only dealing with ‘Oman,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

“Nothing gets through to Iran, unless we want it to, and nothing will get through, unless a Deal, or Total Surrender, is accomplished,” Trump added. “Whether Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking of a solution to a problem that they have caused, for decades. It is very simple, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!”
