The vice president is suddenly everywhere as he makes the case for war with Iran.

He told CNN that “history will record” that it was the right decision to take out Ayatollah Khamenei and said on CNBC that it was time for the United States to “finish the war” that Iran started nearly half-a-century ago. He praised on Fox News the “decisive leadership” of President Trump and condemned on Newsmax an Iranian regime that “openly advocates another holocaust.”

In the last 10 days, Mike Pence has emerged as one of the staunchest defenders of both Trump’s attacks on Iran and a more muscular conservative foreign policy that previously defined the GOP.

Vice President JD Vance, by comparison, has kept a lower profile.

Vance made his initial public comments on the third day of hostilities during an interview with Jesse Watters of Fox News. It is the most-watched show in all of prime-time news, and the vice president was the first member of the Cabinet to address the nation. He argued that the attack on Iran differed from the War on Terror because “the president has clearly defined what he wants to accomplish,” namely, preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

A week later, during remarks to the International Association of Firefighters, Vance made his second public remarks, calling for “a moment of prayer for our brothers in arms.”

His role otherwise has remained mostly behind the scenes. The White House released a photo of the vice president monitoring the strikes from the Situation Room during the first wave of air strikes. A former Marine, Vance later attended the dignified transfer of six fallen U.S. service members at Dover Air Force Base.

“The entire national security team, including the Vice President, have been constantly engaged in active deliberations surrounding the operations in Iran,” Taylor Van Kirk, a Vance spokeswoman, told RealClearPolitics.

It comes as some of Vance’s staunchest allies cast a critical eye........
