And the situation remains fluid: Vance cancelled a planned Thursday night flight to Switzerland for the start of talks, though the White House said the U.S. delegation is &#8220;prepared to depart at the first available opportunity.&#8221;<\/div><div>The fast-moving developments coincide with the publication of Vance&#8217;s book on his conversion to Catholicism, &#8220;Communion,&#8221; and a media \u200btour to promote it, during which he discussed his faith while positioning himself as the Iran deal&#8217;s top booster.<\/div><div>The campaign-style push reached a crescendo on Thursday with a White House news conference where Vance laid out \u200bU.S. hopes for a final peace deal and offered what some observers called one of the strongest rebukes of Israel in U.S. history, while also swatting away a question \u2060about a potential presidential run.<\/div><div>&#8220;If the Iranians don&#8217;t change their behavior, their military and their nuclear program is still destroyed,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;If they do change their behavior, then they are going to have a transformative relationship with the Middle \u200bEast, and the Middle East will have a transformative relationship with the people of Iran.\u201d<\/div><div>Fellow Republicans have underscored the significance of Vance\u2019s high-profile role in the Iran deal.<\/div><div>Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a leader in the party&#8217;s foreign policy \u200bestablishment, called Vance the &#8220;architect&#8221; of the peace agreement, and said the vice president should present a final deal to the Senate for approval.<\/div><div>Trump joked on Wednesday that Vance had little to gain and much to lose from this assignment.<\/div><div>\u201cIf it works out, I&#8217;m going to take the credit. If it doesn&#8217;t work out, I&#8217;m blaming JD!\u201d the president chortled during a news conference at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France.<\/div><div>Representatives from Vance&#8217;s office declined to comment for this report.<\/div><h2>DEFENDING TRUMP<\/h2><div>Trump ran for office promising lower prices and an end \u200bto what he called \u201cforever wars\u201d in the Middle East. Instead, inflation has accelerated, and he launched strikes on Iran on February 28. Some Republican allies have accused Trump of granting Tehran major concessions to alleviate the price pressures caused \u200bby the conflict.<\/div><div>While Trump has touted the provisional peace deal as a total military and diplomatic victory, it appears at this point to have advanced few of his goals from the outset of the war: Iran&#8217;s theocratic government remains in place, it retains \u200cballistic missiles and \u2060a stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and it continues supporting anti-Israel militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/div><div>Vance has had to defend the president&#8217;s decisions while trying to establish some distance from Trump&#8217;s falling approval ratings. He has attempted to do so by pointing to marginal economic improvements while declaring \u201cthere\u2019s a lot more work to do.\u201d<\/div><div>&#8220;Have a little bit of faith in the president of the United States. The idea that he is going to strike a deal that\u2019s bad for the American people, it\u2019s preposterous,&#8221; Vance said on Thursday.<\/div><div>He told conservative media host Megyn Kelly earlier in the week that he remained engaged on the Iran war because distancing himself from the effort would be \u201ca very immature way to approach \u200bthe political process,\u201d while accusing hawkish conservatives of seeking \u200bto continue U.S. attacks \u201cuntil every bomb has been dropped, \u2060or until every Iranian is dead.\u201d<\/div><div>Vance has cautioned against intensifying the war and advocated for Trump to pursue a diplomatic exit. He is one of the leaders of an ascendant wing of the Republican Party that hopes to restrain U.S. global military pursuits.<\/div><div>He is not without critics.<\/div><div>\u201cIn my opinion, the vice president \u2014 the chief negotiator on this project \u2014 has \u200bnot well served the president,\u201d right-wing media figure Ben Shapiro said on Thursday on Fox News.<\/div><div>Trump appears to have elevated Vance as the face of the agreement \u200brather than Secretary of State Marco \u2060Rubio \u2014 traditionally the country&#8217;s chief diplomat \u2014 triggering questions from administration allies about Rubio\u2019s role in negotiations.<\/div><div>A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations, said no one on Trump&#8217;s team voiced opposition to the provisional peace deal.<\/div><div>Rubio is also seen as a contender for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, though neither he nor Vance have said they plan to seek the presidency.<\/div><div>The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/div><div>The move to promote Vance, though, is typical of \u2060the way Trump \u200bhas managed cabinet officials in his second term, said one person close to the White House, who spoke on condition of anonymity to \u200bdiscuss private conversations.<\/div><div>\u201cThis back and forth is throwing people off, but Trump knows what he\u2019s doing,\u201d the person said. \u201cHe is literally conducting a tryout in real time.\u201d<\/div><div>Throughout it all has been Vance\u2019s book, which he has jokingly promoted in nearly every media engagement alongside discussion of the day\u2019s \u200bnews.<\/div><div>Facing a grilling about Iran, immigration and civil rights on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d on Tuesday, the vice president quipped: \u201cLet\u2019s talk about the book \u2014 I\u2019m here to sell books.\u201d<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Humeyra Pamuk\" class=\"wp-image-8\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/30daf89d2c8d8ef17c165b6e57547d52.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Humeyra Pamuk<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Instagram<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2402\">Trump administration may alter slavery exhibit at Philadelphia site, court says<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2400\">US judge allows challenges to Trump\u2019s mail-in voting order ahead of November elections<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=2398\">White House delays release of US voting machine study as midterms near<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Vice President JD Vance is poised to take on his biggest role yet on the international stage as President Donald Trump&#8217;s chief negotiator to end the three-month war with Iran, a moment \u200bthat could shape Vance\u2019s prospects as a White House successor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2403,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7],"class_list":["post-2404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
