During an appearance on NBC, Vance said that the US President made the final call to attack Iran "minutes before the bomb dropped".

Speaking with host Kristen Welker, Vance said that Trump had the ability to abort the mission until the very last moment, but "he decided to proceed."

The strike, involving 'bunker buster' bombs, targeted three nuclear sites in Iran and took place on Sunday. The timeline was confirmed by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff during a press briefing.
