He expressed "hope", however, that negotiations would prevent their deployment. The reference to tools heightened fears that the US, which seems to be unsure about an end goal for the war, would use a nuclear weapon against Iran. An account associated with former vice president Kamala Harris also said Vance's remarks implied Trump "might use nuclear weapons".

"Literally nothing @VP said here 'implies' this, you absolute buffoons," the White House's handle posted.
