Commenting on the deal, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Big Weekend Show on Sunday evening that it is a “big moment for the United States of America”, crediting the “leadership” of President Donald Trump and the “hard work of the entire team”.

While the full terms of the deal have yet to be made public, Vice President Vance said that the deal negotiated by the White House will “never have a nuclear weapon, not just pursue a nuclear weapon, but to procure or buy a nuclear weapon as well, that’s built into this agreement.”

Vance said that there will be “real benefits” for Iran if it sticks to the agreement, but stressed that this will be contingent on the United States being able to “verify” that Tehran delivers on its promises.

“If the Iranians comply with this deal, it is going to fundamentally transform the Middle East for the next 50 years,” Vance said. “It’s going to end the war, it’s going to make the Middle East more investible, it’s going to mean a lot of prosperity, lower energy prices for the American people.”

“This region of the world has been a basket case for my entire life, and longer than that, and what the President has really set us up to do is to certainly eliminate the nuclear threat of Iran, that’s done, but now possibly to build to a new era of Middle prosperity and success,” Vance added.

The Vice President stressed that the deal will mean the U.S. will no longer need to spend as much time, effort, and resources managing the Middle East, but rather a region from which the American people will gain. “That’s a very, very big win and it all happened because the President stuck with it,” he said.


Vance also expressed thanks to the American people, whose “patience” he credited with affording the administration the time needed to “solve the problem that has plagued this country for well before I was even born” of a terrorist-supporting country that was pursuing a nuclear weapon.

“We are at a place now that we can say with confidence that they are not going to get a nuclear weapon, and if they comply with the broader elements of the deal, this entire region… what the President has done is create the real space to transform that region, cooperation between the Gulf Arab allies and the Israelis, and now, hopefully, a new era with the Iranians.”

“This is just a great thing for the American people. I know that they suffered with high gas prices, the president has certainly been very concerned about that fact, but what we are going to be able to do is drive down the cost of energy, not just now, for the long term and create a real engine of prosperity in the Middle East where Americans benefit from those lower energy prices, lower gas prices, and we don’t have the same risk of chaos that we’ve had for the last generation.”





No good???

Obama did, and he was able to do it for ~$1.8 billion of their own unfrozen funds, not ~$325 billion+, he didn't need to go to war with them, it didn't take 1000s of civilian deaths, depleting the munitions stores of the US military and losing multiple bases in the region, and it didn't cost the US its global standing.

Plus it got rid of their Nukes, the thing Trump said he completely obliterated but then didn't as it was used as justification for his illegal war.

The illegal war of choice that he's just conceed defeat.

He lost his war of choice... Is there anything more Trump than that?

As usual if he'd done nothing things would have been vastly better.

So I think what you mean is Trump can't negotiate with Iran, because Obama did and until Trump tore up the deal, it was working.

You cannot reason with incompetent buffoons like the Trump regime. Their framework of thinking is nothing like ours.

Curious, if the Iran situation causes Trump to keel over and die, will the Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Iran enlisted the help of psychiatric professionals to deal with US President Donald Trump's "erratic behaviour" while negotiating a peace deal aimed at ending the war in the Middle East.

The team of two senior psychologists was deployed to develop an assessment of Trump's mental condition and to assist Iranian negotiators in crafting messages passed to the US leader by regional mediators.

"We added two senior psychologists to the negotiations' advisory circle so that we can shape messages intended for President Trump from the perspective of managing what we regard as psychopathic behaviour patterns".
