JD Vance is being called on to make a more complicated case in defense of Trump 's decision to drop bombs on Iran .

Vance was by Trump ’s side in the White House Situation Room during the strikes, and at the televised address to announce them.

He appeared on two Sunday news shows to answer for the United States ’ direct plunge into a conflict between Israel and Iran .

Vance held up Trump ’s first -term drone attack that killed Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani as an example of smart leadership.

Vance : “I think we have to be aggressive with this. I think war often leads to unintended consequences, but preventing Iran from getting a bomb — really, really important”.
