WASHINGTON, United States, Feb 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US Vice President JD Vance told Iran on Wednesday to take Washington's threats of military action "seriously," a day after President Donald Trump appeared to build the case for war in his State of the Union address. Vance said that while Trump was going to try to get Iran to make a deal "diplomatically," the US president also had the "right" to use military action. "You can't let the craziest and worst regime in the world have nuclear weapons," Vance told "America's Newsroom" on Fox News. His comments came as the United States announced fresh sanctions targeting Iran, pressing on with what Washington calls its "maximum pressure" campaign. Iran insists its nuclear program is for civilian purposes.
