"US Vice President JD Vance has emerged as the chief defender of the memorandum of understanding President Donald Trump signed with Iran , a notable shift for a politician previously known for skepticism regarding foreign military interventions.
This prominent role is viewed as a significant political gamble for the vice president, potentially bolstering a future White House bid by associating him with the resolution of an unpopular conflict, but also positioning him as a potential scapegoat if the deal fails.
Trump joked about such a possibility on Wednesday, saying, If it works out, Im going to take the credit. If it doesnt work out, Im blaming JD.
The agreement, digitally signed by the U.S. with Iran, initiates a two-month negotiating period and stipulates that Iran's highly enriched uranium must be diluted under international supervision, alongside a renewed commitment from Iran not to procure or develop nuclear weapons, with other commitments still requiring negotiation."
