Trump, Vance Threaten Iran Amid Israel Crisis

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance have intensified their rhetoric during the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, with Trump publicly threatening Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and both leaders suggesting possible U.S. military intervention if Iran does not halt its nuclear enrichment program. Trump claimed to have previously vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Khamenei, while Vance defended Trump's crisis management and warned of potential U.S. action. The situation escalated following Trump's abrupt departure from the G7 summit, amid Israel's major offensive against Iranian targets, evacuations in Tehran, and missile attacks on Israeli cities. Bipartisan U.S. lawmakers are pushing for Congressional approval before any attack on Iran, reflecting significant domestic debate. International actors have called for de-escalation to prevent a broader regional war. The conflict remains highly volatile, with further significant developments possible.
