Why is JD Vance being blamed for the Iran deal?
JD Vance is already being thrown under the bus for the memorandum of understanding between the Trump regime and Iran. Here is what we're learning. Kelly Meyer from News Nation reports that leadership of the MAGA Republicans in the House and the Senate are placing all the blame on JD Vance. for what they call as a terrible deal of surrender with Iran. One congressional Republican is telling Kelly Meyer, 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, as Trump was about to declare a total victory and get Iran to surrender, Vance just negotiated his way to a loss. Earlier today, Donald Trump with a smile said, if it works out, I'm going to take credit.
If it doesn't work out, I'm blaming JD. And to be clear, that was state regime media, which calls itself Fox, asking Donald Trump that question and planting that seed in his head.
What are the reactions from Republican leaders regarding Vance's role?
Let's just blame JD for it, Donald. And that's what state regime media was going with all day. I'll show you that in just a moment. Also, Rupert Murdoch had previously told Donald Trump that he Much more would rather have Rubio be in charge of negotiations than J.D. Vance. Trump praised the deal reached with Iran during his visit to the G7 in France. He signed the copy of the MOU tonight at Versailles. I mean, quite literally repeating the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I in German humiliation. And that's where Donald Trump signed this.
How did Trump respond to the Iran deal negotiations?
You can't make it up. Trump selected Vance to lead the Iran talks over Rubio. And now Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are all pointing the finger at JD Vance and saying he's to blame. Also, in Israel, you have Netanyahu and his Mossad basically saying that J.D. Vance is compromised, that J.D. Vance was leaking information from the Mossad to Turkey. They're basically accusing J.D. Vance of being a spy for Turkey and the Arab nations, and they are making a concerted effort to dig up dirt on J.D. Vance to try to destroy his life right now. Let me show you what they're doing on state regime media, which calls itself Fox. You have Brian Kilmeade saying that this terrible deal was the product of J.D.
Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, who just destroyed Donald Trump's legacy. I think Donald Trump destroyed any legacy a long time ago. His legacy will be one of being the most vile piece of trash that ever walked this planet. But here is what...
Kilmeade had to say, let's play. All I'm going to say is the vice president was here, did a wonderful job on every outlet, including The View. But this is his deal. It's not the president's deal. And it's his deal and Steve Woodcoff and Jared Kushner together.
What accusations are being made against JD Vance by Israeli intelligence?
I just hope they didn't let the president down because the president's putting a lot of stock in them. Right. And he has to. He can't do everything himself. I just hope they didn't let him down.
And this is what state regime media, which calls itself Fox, was running with all day. They brought on Ben Shapiro, who said, yeah, JD Vance did not serve Donald Trump well. This is all JD Vance's fault.
Here, play this clip. It said this MOU appears to be, just from the text, a disaster that does not achieve any of the actual signal goals that were set by the administration at the beginning. There were effectively five goals that were set by the administration at the beginning. when it was ending the nuclear program, not just nuclear weapons, no nuclear enrichment, zero enrichment. That is not in the deal. Ballistic missiles ended. That is not in the deal. And the president today suggested that ballistic missiles should actually continue to be held by the Iranians because the Saudis, our allies, also hold ballistic missiles. Then you have the support of terrorism. That is not part of the deal. Anything that looks like an attempt to end terrorism, a permanent opening of the Strait of Hormuz toll free.
Not only is that not in the deal, the deal appears to have a provision allowing Iran and Oman to attempt to toll the straits after 60 days.
