U.S. Vice President Vance:

My message to the people in Bibi’s government who are attacking Trump – don’t attack the only leader in the world who supports you.

Your country was built with our money.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 — WATCH: JD Vance attacks members of the Israeli government who criticized of the deal:

“Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.

If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.

Over the last three months, two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected Israel have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars.

The problem for Israel is not Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.”

🇺🇸Vice President J.D. Vance on Iran:

Obama's nuclear deal allowed enrichment — our deal does not allow that.
Obama's deal allowed the accumulation of weapons-grade material; our deal actually leads to the destruction of that enriched material stockpile.
Obama's deal gave them over a billion dollars of American money; this deal gives them no American dollars.

🇺🇸 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on Iran:

✔️ They have made very clear nuclear commitments. They have committed to destroying the highly enriched stockpile they possess.

⚠️ All we have done is lift the blockade in the strait — essentially returning it to the state it was in before the conflict.

🇺🇸 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on the Iran deal:

💬 Whether these things are written or spoken, this is why we structured the deal we made, because we don't trust words. We trust actions and behavior.

📌 Words don't matter, ladies and gentlemen, we care about verification and validation.

🇺🇸🔴Vice President J.D. Vance on Iran:

Let's assume that two years from now, they have done what we need to see in the nuclear program and we lift the sanctions according to the agreement.
Then they decide to rebuild the nuclear program.
Of course, in that case, the sanctions will return.

⛔️This really looks like a dial: the more they improve their behavior, the more economic facilities we can increase; if they reduce their good behavior, we can cut it off.

🇺🇸 Vice President J.D. Vance on the Iran agreement:

🔴 The fact is that we signed the memorandum of understanding on Sunday. This solidified the terms of the agreement.

💬 The Iranians told us: "We prefer not to release the text until Friday." I really didn’t understand this. I wanted to release the text immediately. But to cooperate with them, we said: "Okay, we will wait until Friday."

⌛ And then during Monday and Tuesday, while President Trump was at the G7 summit, perhaps foreign leaders were talking to the Iranians and encouraging them to do this.

💬 We definitely told them: "We understand your desire not to release the text until Friday, but you know we live in a democratic system. The American people want to see the text of this agreement. We definitely want to release it as soon as possible."

📌 So they decided that their president would sign it, our president would sign it, and then the text would be immediately released as a signed document.

Defending Trump's remark, Vance says Iran needs missiles for 'self-defense,' like Israel

Despite France having imposed significant restrictions, the booths of Israeli defense industries showcased at the prestigious exhibition in Paris were crowded with senior representatives, including chiefs of staff and defense ministers from various countries.

🇺🇸 JD Vance, the Vice President, on Iran:

⚠️ Currently, the Iranian nation has a population of about 94 million. Their economy is in free fall. They have very high inflation.

📈💥 Basically, about one trillion dollars in damage has been done to their industrial base in the past three months.

❌ The notion that selling a few million dollars of oil can fundamentally change Iran's economy is not correct.

🇺🇸 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on Iran:

⛔️ Regarding the frozen funds, the amount of money — honestly, I don't know.

💵 I've heard figures over $100 billion. In fact, I've heard figures over $200 billion.

📊 Most of it is not in U.S. accounts; most of it is either in the Persian Gulf, or in Europe, or somewhere else.

📌 But I don't know the exact amount of money — it's a lot.

🇺🇸 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance on negotiations with Iran:

🔴 Our plan is to go to Switzerland. I don't know exactly when.

🔗 The way these negotiations are arranged is technical, and it is clear that political leadership will be involved. We will have people on site who will really advance the technical negotiations — the nuclear negotiations —.
🗣️ We think these technical negotiations are supposed to start over this weekend. That is still the plan. But it may change because Iran is not an easy country to leave, so we are trying to figure out exactly when this will happen.

🇺🇸 Vice President J.D. Vance on Iran's missiles:

❗️ What matters is the number of launchers they have and, more importantly, the ground teams capable of launching these missiles.

⚡️ Their ability to launch missiles has significantly decreased.

🔽 Has this ability dropped to zero? No. But it has significantly decreased.

✔️ We have not abandoned this mission. We have accomplished it.

⚠️🛡 Gulf Arab allies and Israelis have borne the brunt of these missile attacks — each of them feels safer today.

🎤 Reporter:

Who is funding that $300 billion fund for Iran?❓

🇺🇸 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance:

There is a strong willingness from the Arab world and also outside the Arab world that if Iran behaves properly, they would really intervene in Iran.❗️

🇺🇸 Vice President J.D. Vance on the Iran deal:

💬 What I tell each of the critics is to have a little faith in the President of the United States.

🚫 The idea that he would want to sign a deal that is bad for the American people is ridiculous.

🇺🇸 JD Vance, Vice President, on Netanyahu:


🔴 I saw the Axios report saying Netanyahu is angry.

This does not reflect the conversations I have had with him.

👀 Maybe he is telling something to someone else that he is not telling me.
