JD Vance emerges as the public face of the troubled Iran peace deal
Vice President JD Vance has become the public face of the faltering interim U.S. ceasefire deal with Iran, heading negotiations meant to end hostilities and impose limits on Tehran's nuclear activities. Vance, who opposed the war earlier, traveled to Switzerland for talks and defended the agreement at a White House briefing on June 18, 2026. Iran has denied Vance's claim that it will readmit nuclear inspectors, highlighting a clear disagreement between U.S. statements and Tehran's position. Conservative critics and some U.S. officials are singling out Vance as the likely fall guy if the shaky agreement collapses, raising immediate political risk for the vice-presidency.
The “smart” critique was that JCPOA—which would have expired in 2030—was too short. JD Vance, who is completely untrustworthy, now says he can only guarantee Iran will remain nuke-free through the remainder of the Trump admin, which ends in (checks notes) 2029. www.offmessage.net/p/jcpoa-oppo...
Brian Beutler77But it’s not just that they managed AT BEST to shorten the upshot of JCPOA by a year and a half. They also made the outcome they supposedly feared (along with several worse ones) much more likely. www.offmessage.net/p/jcpoa-oppo...
Astreia3Also the entire idea of the JCPOA was that closer ties with Iran and the global economy and empowering moderates who wanted to work with the West for 15 years would make them less likely to want a nuke
JD Vance is the face of the beleaguered Iran deal – is he its fall guy?
Grizzled Shopkeep12How about don't accept who the uniformly corrupt and incompetent Administration offers as a fall guy and just hold everybody accountable from Senile Grandpa to Drinky the Drunk Guy.
seneca5.bsky.social8Trump actually said if the deal falls apart, he'll blame Vance for it. He literally said that. When it comes to shirking responsibility for his failures, count on Trump to blame someone else. Don't be surprised when Trump suggests that it was JD who knifed the Reflecting Pool.
underdog674People like Trump will always kill off a pretender.
Dr Robin2JD Vance deserves everything that is happening to him now. He is an integral part of this administration.
luckydog59.bsky.social2Vance is trumps lackey it’s his job to take the fall for trump’s failure along with Mike Johnson.trump will always throw them under the bus and they continue to kiss his ass, trump only care about lining pockets and staying out of jail. The republicans will never learn
CupcakeYOW2Does any one other than JD and Peter Thiel really care?
JD Vance credits Peter Thiel for helping him convert to Catholicism. In leaked audio recordings last fall, Peter Thiel revealed he told JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral issues, including the development of ethical AI. He also suggested the American pope was a tool of the Antichrist.
Saskia6Ignore him on moral issues? What on earth are we looking to the pope for - his restaurant recommendations??
Mark Bannantyne4once upon a time , such comments would have you being interviewed by the inquisitors
Padraig21124Both of these guys would be spending the entire month cleaning erasers in Catholic school
