Vance said, "The president says look, we've accomplished the gross majority of our military objectives, I think you could make a good argument that we've accomplished all of our military objectives, the president's going to keep at it for a little while longer to ensure that, once we leave, we don't have to do this again for a very very long time."

"The president has been very clear about this: we are not interested in being in Iran a year down the road, two years down the road. We're taking care of business, we're going to be out of there soon, and gas prices are going to come back down," he continued.

He assured that gas prices "are going to go down," and they are a "very very temporary reaction to is ultimately going to be a short-term conflict."

Vance's remarks come as Yemen's pro-Iran Houthi forces confirmed they have launched a missile at Israel early on Saturday after threatening to act if an escalation against Iran and the 'axis of resistance' continued. No casualties have been reported as a result of the attack, Israeli authorities said.
