White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News Wednesday that the administration has paved the way for dismantling Iran's nuclear program, regardless of whether the memorandum of understanding succeeds or fails, according to a report from i24NEWS diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein.
White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly told Fox News on Wednesday that the administration has 'paved the way' for dismantling Iran's nuclear program, irrespective of whether the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Washington and Tehran succeeds or fails, according to i24NEWS diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein.
The statement echoes a line of argument Vice President JD Vance has developed in recent weeks. Vance has described the emerging framework as a 'win-win' for the United States, arguing that even if Iran does not comply, its nuclear and military capabilities have already been degraded. In a June 16 Fox News interview, Vance said the U.S. 'wins either way' — a position Kelly reinforced Wednesday.
The remark comes as negotiations over the MOU continue, with the Trump administration framing the deal as a strategic success independent of Iranian compliance. The White House has circulated messages stating the MOU ends fighting on all fronts, including in Lebanon, though the agreement's final text and implementation timeline remain under discussion.
