U.S. Vice President JD Vance defended the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement on Thursday, calling it a 'win-win' for the United States. 'If the Iranians don't change their behavior, their military and nuclear program are still destroyed. If they do change their behavior, they'll have a transformative relationship with the Middle East,' Vance said. His remarks frame the deal as a strategic success regardless of Tehran's compliance, according to a statement reported by the Vance's office.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Thursday continued his push for the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, framing it as a 'win-win' for America in prepared remarks. 'You really have a win-win situation for the United States of America,' Vance said. He argued that the deal benefits the U.S. regardless of Iranian compliance: if Tehran does not change its behavior, its military and nuclear programs 'are still destroyed'; if it does change, Iran would have a 'transformative relationship with the Middle East.' His remarks were publicized via the Vice President's official channels.
This is the latest in a series of statements from Vance during the past week advancing the administration's position. As The Zioneer reported last night, Vance told Fox News on Tuesday that the U.S. 'wins' whether Iran changes course or rejects the deal. On Monday, he said pragmatists in Iran are winning the internal debate and that the final agreement should block long-range missiles. The deal's full text remains classified, and a group of American commentators across the political spectrum have demanded its publication, according to reports.
