U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that Iran is not giving up its right to self-defense, but that the U.S. expects the final agreement to prevent Iran from developing the type of missiles that threaten the entire world, according to Israeli media reports.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance spoke to Fox News on Thursday, addressing the ongoing U.S.-Iran nuclear talks. Vance stated that Iran is not relinquishing its right to self-defense within the framework of a final agreement, but that Washington expects the deal to block Tehran's development of long-range missiles that could threaten global security. The remarks, reported by N12, come amid a series of Vance interviews this week promoting the emerging framework. As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, Vance also discussed the deal with CBN, reiterating Israel's right to self-defense. The administration continues to face criticism from analysts and some American commentators who demand the full text be made public, while Vance has dismissed leaked claims as false information.
