Vance indefinitely postpones CBS town hall 'due to the war,' network says

Vice President Vance has postponed a town hall with CBS News that was scheduled for next week “due to the war” in the Middle East, the network announced on Thursday. “A new date and more details to come soon,” a network statement posted on the social platform X said.

Vance was supposed to participate in a sit-down with “CBS Evening News” anchor Tony Dokoupil on March 14 as part of the network’s “Things That Matter” town hall series, where he would have likely faced questions about the ongoing U.S. military operation in Iran.

The vice president has previously dismissed the prospect of a prolonged conflict with Iran, even as tensions have sharply escalated since the U.S. and Israel first launched joint airstrikes against Tehran early Saturday morning, targeting the Iranian regime’s leadership as well as nuclear and military sites.

Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), told reporters on Thursday that American bombers had struck nearly 200 targets “deep inside of Iran” in the last 72 hours. He also said U.S. forces had struck and set on fire a large Iranian drone carrier ship as they stepped up attacks on Iran’s navy.
