While taking questions after signing an Executive Order to establish a taskforce aimed at rooting out fraud, Vice President JD Vance was asked if he was “completely on board with the current war in Iran.” Vance responded by stating the reporter was “trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration,” adding that he agrees with things Trump has “said consistently — going back to 2015” about how Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. Trump continued to point out that the leadership of Iran has “killed 32,000 protesters over the last three weeks,” and added that if Iran “had a nuclear weapon, they would use it.” The strikes against Iran’s neighboring countries came after Trump announced that the United States and Israel had launched joint strikes against Iran with the purpose of destroying “Iran’s stockpiles of missiles.”
