Vice President JD Vance hit back at critics on Friday over what the Trump administration claims is an emerging deal with Iran to end the war. Vance blasted critics who “say you can’t trust a word said” by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, just over an hour after Trump declared “there is no such thing as dealing in good faith” with Iran.
Iranian state media published what it claimed were details from the potential agreement, which showed heavy concessions from the U.S. in the form of a $300 billion payment for reconstruction, the removal of U.S. troops from the region, sanctions relief, and a guarantee to allow Iranian proxies to operate in countries like Lebanon.
“I’m seeing a lot of fake information about a potential deal to reopen the Strait and end Iran’s nuclear weapons program. First, the Iranians are not receiving any cash, and no funds are being released for simply signing a deal or attending a meeting,” Vance wrote on social media, adding:
The deal is structured to ensure that the US and its allies concerns are prioritized, and that if the Islamic Republic of Iran meets its obligations, then economic benefits will flow to them and to the entire region. This deal has the potential to remake the region and lead to lasting peace.
I’ve noticed a couple of bizarre things in the reporting over the last few hours. First, people who (rightly) said Donald Trump was a historic president a month ago now criticizing a deal based on unconfirmed media reports. Second, people who say you can’t trust a word said by the IRGC who apparently believe anonymously sourced social media posts. The president is going to get us a good outcome, one way or the other.
Vance’s post came around the same time that Trump blasted the release from Iranian state media as “Fake News” and called the Iranian leadership “dishonorable.”
“The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING! Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships leaving the Hormuz Strait is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. They better get their act together, and FAST!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi meanwhile, announced on X Friday that a deal “has never been closer.”
“The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer,” wrote Araghchi. “Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content. In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be shared with the public in due course.”

It'll be a damned sight short of unconditional surrender and whatever money they squeeze out of a negotiated settlement will prop up the regime.
I trust Iran about as much as I would trust a rattle snake.
Has anyone noticed the presence of subterfuge in this situation?
If Iran gets any money, Republicans are going to split: those who don’t care what it takes, and those who are going to criticize Trump for getting the same deal as Obama.
Guaranteed.
Hear, hear! They’re scum.
He and Usha are also expecting their baby soon. Prayers up for them.
This might be part of his overall plan. After they delay , put out lies, do occasional attacks it becomes the excuse for the President to demand they have fair elections or be hunted down like all thier former leaders.
Its very important for everyone to realize the IRGC and their Mullahs do NOT follow American/EU/Western modes of thinking or morality.
The second point to consider - they are extremists and radicals even in their own society
Therefore, any supposed deal which entails their “surrender,” loss of public respect, or damage to their power will NEVER be implemented by them.
I trust Iran as much as I trust democrats.
So you are saying Vance is lying.
You can’t trust a Muslim when the Quran says it is perfectly acceptable. Besides we have seen decades of their bull sh*t lies.
Well, he’s married to an Indian. She’s probably fine, but in general you can’t trust them, either. He probably just judges using a low bar.
“Snakes”, “Democrats”, same thing
Iranian militant politicians are noted for their ability to deceive their adversaries in negotiations. They have a reputation of never keeping promises. JD Vance needs to learn from history.
TAQIYYA
But you can’t trust them, history tells us that over and over and over.
I don’t understand this statement from JD.
Is he saying HE trusts them?
Let’s face it: None of us know jacksheet about what’s really going on beyond the scenes here and can’t do anything about it even if we knew. At this point, I’m going to disengage on this issue and wait for the dust to settle. The result will be the same without the unnecessary frustration in my life.
Once again, I must maintain these creatures have diminished human characteristics. The advisors and negotiators should have been required to spend a month in prison interacting with the criminally insane. Iranian leaders are not only ideologues but also meet the definition of sociopaths by exhibiting patterns of antisocial behaviors and attitudes, including manipulation, deceit, aggression and a lack of empathy for others. Any deal with these two-legged vertebrates must be preceded by abandonment, distribution, and destruction of significant physical objects essential to the terrorist designs of this regime.

I agree with your approach to this issue. It applies to many others as well.
