AceShowbiz - Seth Meyers critiqued Vice President JD Vance after he avoided answering whether the U.S. would launch another military strike on Iran during a recent interview. The exchange took place amid rising tensions following last year’s U.S. operation targeting Iran’s nuclear program.

During the Thursday episode of "A Closer Look" on NBC, Meyers addressed President Trump’s renewed threat against Iran. This threat follows the previous strike known as Operation Midnight Hammer, which Trump claimed "obliterated" Iran’s nuclear capabilities. However, reports contradicted this, revealing that Iran’s progress was only delayed by approximately six months.

New intelligence suggests Iran is now just a week away from acquiring industrial-grade bomb-making materials, prompting speculation that another strike may be imminent. Meyers pointedly questioned the credibility of the prior operation, saying, "A week away, what happened to destroyed, and defeated, and obliterated?!" He joked that a sequel to the strike might be titled "Operation Midnight Hammer 2: Pounding Some Cialis," implying the initial effort was ineffective.

Seeking clarity, Meyers turned to JD Vance, playing a clip of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressing the Vice President on the issue. In response, Vance refused to "make any news," effectively sidestepping the question. Meyers challenged this evasive answer, noting, "No one’s asking you to make news. But could you, you know, explain it?"

He compared Vance’s response to a suspicious spouse deflecting when questioned about late-night whereabouts, emphasizing that such avoidance only fuels doubt. The segment highlighted the ongoing confusion surrounding U.S. intentions toward Iran and the unclear status of America’s military strategy in the region.
