Former US Vice President Mike Pence said he does not trust Iran, citing what he called a legacy of lies over its nuclear ambitions. Pence argued that the potential memorandum of understanding with Tehran 'reeks of appeasement' and urged the president to maintain leverage.
Former US Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday morning warned against trusting Iran in any emerging nuclear agreement, according to a statement circulating on Israeli media. The potential memorandum of understanding, Pence argued, 'reeks of appeasement,' and he noted that the Trump administration had achieved significant leverage in recent military action against Iran — leverage he urged the president to preserve rather than trade away. Pence's remarks follow similar criticism from other conservative voices, as reports of a possible US-Iran framework continue to generate debate in Washington and Jerusalem. The Zioneer previously reported Pence's broader opposition to any deal that does not require full dismantlement of Iran's nuclear and missile programs.
