US Vice President JD Vance has attracted a lot of heat after he justified the US’s military aggression in Iran. He stated that the Middle Eastern nation has the potential to develop nuclear suicide vests. Most netizens seem to have completely rejected the Republican Party member’s hypothesis. In fact, some people called out the absurdity of his suggestion on social media.
JD Vance talks about nuclear suicide vest
During a recent cabinet meeting, Vance lauded the military strikes conducted by Donald Trump’s administration in Iran. He also explained the need for the US’s active intervention in the issue. In this context, he highlighted the possibility of Iran using ‘nuclear suicide vests.’
“You talk about people who walk into a crowded supermarket and have a vest on, and they blow up the vest, and a couple of people get killed, and that’s a terrible tragedy,” the Vice President noted, according to a clip shared by Spencer Hakimian on X (formerly Twitter). “What happens when what’s on the vest is not something that can kill a couple of people, but can kill many, many tens of thousands of people?”
He also backed Trump’s approach towards the Iranian conflict by adding, “That is the most important American national security objective that exists for any administration at any time, is you don’t want the worst people in the world to have a nuclear weapon. That’s why the president is doing this.”
Despite JD Vance’s visible concern about nuclear suicide vests, the public doesn’t seem to share the same enthusiasm regarding the matter. A user on X slammed the politician, calling him “a self-contained liar.” Another mocked Vance’s idea by sharing an AI-generated picture of what a nuclear suicide vest might look like. The same user wrote in the caption, “I wonder how such a vest would look like. Grok proposed this for 5000 kiloton.”
A third X user quipped at the suggestion by writing, “That’s a complete and utter lie.” They added, “I spoke to them and they were actually planning to hide nuclear bombs in their beards and use them in car parks.” A fourth user scoffed at the plausibility of Vance’s notion by stating, “Doesn’t he know satellites can detect these radioisotopes from the URANIUM in the suicide vests?”
