JD Vance defends US strikes, warns Iran against escalation

US Vice President JD Vance defended the latest US strikes and warned that any further attacks would draw a response, saying: "Violence will be met with violence."

"Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone," Vance wrote on X.

The comments came after the Trump administration said the strikes were carried out in response to a drone attack on a vessel in the Gulf that Washington has blamed on Tehran.
