Vance calls Iran deal a ‘win-win’ as Trump lashes out at ‘fools’ who oppose it

Published

on

Vice-President J.D. Vance went on the offensive on Thursday to defend the “win-win” US-Iran agreement as critics slammed its vague provisions, even as others welcomed the apparent end to an expensive and unpopular war, no matter how potentially flawed the deal might be.

“We have all the cards,” Vance told reporters at the White House. “Have a little bit of faith in the president of the United States. The idea that he is going to strike a deal that’s been bad for the American people, it’s preposterous.”

Characteristically, US President Donald Trump punched back aggressively at those who criticised the memorandum of understanding (MOU) he signed on Wednesday and questioned what, exactly, the nearly four-month war had achieved.

Those who see problems with the MOU are “fools” and either “jealous, bad people, or stupid”, Trump said on social media.

The conflict, started by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in late February, has seen the US president’s poll numbers sag, gas prices soar, and inflation mount in the lead-up to the November US midterm election.
