US Vice President JD Bans vows retaliation after US airstrikes on Iran

The United States carried out airstrikes against Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar installations after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a commercial vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz. In response, US Vice President JD Bans posted on X, stating, “Iran signed the cease‑fire agreement and we have honored it. If there are disagreements over how the MOU should be implemented, a phone call will suffice. But violence will be met with violence.”

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed to have struck multiple US bases in the region, indicating a rapid escalation that threatens the fragile cease‑fire framework between the two nations.
