U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance declined to share what advice he gave President Donald Trump prior to the recent strikes on Iran, telling reporters he did not want to go to prison for discussing classified briefings.
Following the unprecedented U.S. and Israeli military campaign that devastated Iranian military infrastructure between March 9 and March 13, 2026, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has publicly refused to detail his role in the administration's decision-making process.
According to multiple Farsi-language media networks, Vance was recently asked by a reporter what advice he initially gave President Donald Trump as the administration weighed its military actions against Iran. خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری, a breaking news channel whose content is actively amplified by Yemen's Islamic Resistance Ansarullah, quoted Vance directly: "I hate to disappoint you, but I am not willing to say here in front of God and everyone exactly what I said in the classified room — partly because I don't want to go to prison."
The exchange was identically reported by اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, a general breaking news aggregator, which highlighted Vance's refusal to disclose any details from the classified briefing room.
Regional conflict monitor اخبار جنگ | ایران | افغانستان prominently featured the interaction under the stark headline: "Vice President of the United States: I do not want to go to prison." The widespread circulation of Vance's brief exchange by Iranian media comes amid severe regional escalation, soaring global oil prices, and the total destruction of Iran's air and naval forces as declared by President Trump earlier in the week.
The source messages consist entirely of identical or nearly identical quotes from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. Farsi-language channels, particularly those aligned with the 'Axis of Resistance' such as Ansarullah, are heavily amplifying Vance's remark about not wanting to 'go to prison.' The translation preserves the directness of the quote and the editorial framing used by the source channels.
