Vice President JD Vance calls US-Iran accord a ‘win-win’ for Americans
US Vice President JD Vance has defended the agreement reached with Iran, describing it as a “great peace deal” and a “win-win for the American people” as lawmakers from both parties demand more information about its terms.
In a video posted on X, Vance said the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz immediately and “ensures that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon”.
Vance said Iran would have a pathway to greater economic integration if it complied with its commitments.
“If the Iranians make the long-term commitment never to rebuild [their nuclear programme], then they are going to be welcomed into the global economy,” he said.
“If they violate those commitments, they are never going to have the resources to do so.”
