US Vice President JD Vance says a video posted by Donald Trump showing missiles striking Iran’s Kharg Island was intended to warn Tehran that it would face consequences if it continued threatening commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The remarks came as the US and Iran exchanged fire for the first time in nearly a month.

Vice President JD Vance said on Monday that Donald Trump’s social media post claiming Iran’s energy hub of Kharg Island had been blown to smithereens was intended to send Iran a message.

He said Iran is facing intense pressure and that the US goal is to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The Wall Street Journal reports that President Donald Trump recently told advisers he did not object to Vice President JD Vance’s efforts to restart direct talks with Tehran over resolving the conflict. Vance sent Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei a letter in October proposing a meeting. No meeting has been agreed, though discussions continue through intermediaries. Iran’s foreign minister previously said no meeting was planned and reports of one were baseless.
