Vance takes on hawks over Iran deal
Vice President JD Vance and allies promote President Donald Trump’s Iran deal as a contrast to the Republican Party’s neoconservative establishment, positioning it as a political advantage for the MAGA base. Conservative critics, including Marc Thiessen, argue the deal weakens U.S. interests, while Vance defends it as avoiding endless conflict. Polls show high public support for ending the war, though skepticism remains about the deal’s specifics.
