NEW: Congressional Republicans are already placing the blame on Vice President JD Vance for a "terrible" deal with Iran. One congressional Republican tells me: “Conservatives on the Hill are stunned that Vance would erase all of Trump’s military victories in such a terrible deal. Trump effectively won the war and at the 11th hour Vance is negotiating his way to a loss.” Earlier today President Trump with a smile said, "if it works out, I'm going to take the credit, if it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD." Trump praised the deal reached with Iran during his visit to the G7 in France and signed a copy of the MOU tonight at Versailles. Trump selected Vance to lead the Iran talks over Rubio. Vance and Rubio both have reported 2028 ambitions.
Yglesias is a true master of sounding like a reasonable centrist while spewing mendacious vileness, to cover for malignant shitbags. It was not, in fact, pro-Israel groups who turned Israel into a polarized issue, but Prog allies. And they did it long before the war with Iran.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal. Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.
Reporter: If Iran comes back after the signing of this and say they want to continue to have a civilian nuclear program, is that acceptable to you? Trump: It is a little hard though when you say that somebody wants to other people have it, other adjoining states have it and you're not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that, it's always a little tough. You have to use a little common sense.
