Earlier, Vance said the U.S. military had “tools that have not yet been decided on” to carry out the final ultimatum issued by President Donald Trump. The White House responded on the X platform, saying: “What the vice president said is not an ‘implication’ of this at all—you complete idiots.”

The statement was directed at an account associated with former Vice President Kamala Harris. The account claimed that Vance hinted that Trump “may use nuclear weapons.”

This exchange comes as tensions between the United States and Iran remain extremely high. Earlier, Trump warned in a social media post that “the whole civilization will end tonight, never to return.” Trump was referring to the fact that if a ceasefire agreement is not reached by the last deadline at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time today, the U.S. plans to launch attacks on Iran’s infrastructure.
