Vice President JD Vance delivered a warning to Tehran on Friday night after the United States launched a series of air strikes.
The strikes came over a week after President Donald Trump signed a ceasefire deal meant to end the war. U.S. Central Command said its forces hit Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar stations. It called the strikes a response to an Iranian attack on a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
Vance responded to the attacks in a post on X.
"Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone," Vance said. "But violence will be met with violence."
