Vance says Trump Kharg post was 'message' to Iran

Vance says Trump Kharg post was 'message' to Iran US Vice President JD Vance has said that President Donald Trump was sending a message to Iran when he posted an AI-generated video that appeared to show the US military blowing up oil facilities on Iran's Kharg Island earlier on Monday. "The president likes to switch it up on social media a little bit," Vance said when asked about Trump's post at a press conference. "He would be the first to say he doesn't make announcements about military actions on social media, but I think that he's sending a message to the Iranians," he added. Earlier on Monday, Hamid Bovard, the chief executive of the National Iranian Oil Company, denied that the US had destroyed oil facilities on Kharg.
