Vance Says Military Option Still on Table; US Releases New Details on Alleged 2020 Chinese Nuclear Test

Vice President JD Vance said on Feb. 17, following mediated talks between Washington and Tehran in Geneva, that Iran was ignoring Washington’s red lines, primarily those related to its nuclear program. He said that Washington’s primary goal is to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Vance noted that Washington has a “very powerful military” and that President Donald Trump has shown willingness to use it in the past. He also said that the United States’ preference was for the issues to be resolved through “diplomatic negotiation.”

Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Yeaw released new details on Feb. 17 of an underground nuclear test blast that China allegedly conducted in June 2020. He told an event at the Hudson Institute think tank in Washington that a remote seismic station in Kazakhstan measured an “explosion” of magnitude 2.75 located 450 miles away at the Lop Nor test grounds in western China on June 22, 2020.
