Vance takes on GOP hawks over Iran deal, seen by critics as the fall guy for Trump's agreement
Washington Examiner—Vice President JD Vance has taken a prominent public role defending Trump's Iran deal against hawkish critics in the Republican party, criticizing Israel's 'freakout' over the agreement. Politico called it a 'political gamble' for Vance, who is absorbing attacks from the right on what critics — including the New Republic — say is a bad deal Trump needs a scapegoat for. Washington Examiner provided a hawkish roadmap for exiting the deal. Newsmax noted Vance's unusually critical posture toward Israel.
