Washington(The COW News Digital)US Vice President J.D. Vance and senior aides have urged President Donald Trump to give diplomacy a chance before considering any military action against Iran, according to multiple reports from American media. The calls come amid ongoing protests and a violent crackdown in Iran that has drawn international attention.
According to US news outlets, President Trump is reportedly weighing options in response to the crackdown on demonstrators, including potential strikes against Iranian targets. However, Vice President Vance and his senior advisors emphasize that diplomatic avenues should be fully explored before taking military measures.
Citing unnamed officials, reports indicate that while Trump has not made a final decision, he currently leans toward a strike against Iran, though his position remains fluid. Some US officials suggest that an initial military action could be followed by negotiations, depending on Tehran’s response.

The White House is reportedly reviewing Iran’s recent offer to engage in talks regarding its nuclear program. Media outlets say that while diplomatic engagement is on the table, the President is seriously considering authorizing military action if he perceives diplomacy as insufficient to achieve US objectives.
Experts note that this internal debate reflects broader tensions within the administration regarding Iran policy. While some officials advocate for decisive military options, others warn that premature use of force could destabilize the region, escalate conflict, and limit the US’s ability to pursue constructive negotiations later.
Vice President Vance, along with his aides, is pushing for a cautious approach, arguing that diplomacy not only provides a chance to de-escalate tensions but also strengthens the US’s position in any potential negotiations. According to sources, Vance and like-minded officials believe that exhausting diplomatic channels first could prevent unnecessary escalation and avoid a wider regional conflict.
Analysts say the situation remains fluid, with the White House closely monitoring developments in Iran while weighing international reactions and potential consequences. The ongoing protests, combined with Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence, complicate decision-making, making any military strike a highly consequential move.
Observers suggest that the coming days will be critical in determining whether the US administration prioritizes negotiation or military intervention. The balance between diplomacy and force could shape not only US-Iran relations but also broader stability in the Middle East.
For now, Vice President Vance and senior officials are advocating for restraint and dialogue, emphasizing that military options should be considered only after all diplomatic opportunities have been explored.
