Trump's "Swiss Army" tools on Iran: Vance and Rubio
President Trump uses Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to balance competing strategies in Iran peace talks. Vance, described as dovish, supports ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while Rubio, a hawkish advocate for Israel, pushes to block Iranian influence in Lebanon. The negotiations involve three agreements between the U.S., Iran, Israel, and Lebanon, with tensions arising over differing approaches to Hezbollah and Israel's withdrawal.
