On Wednesday afternoon, senior U.S. administration officials finally read the text of a memorandum of understanding with Iran, days after it was digitally signed. The 14-point plan gives the United States and Iran a 60-day runway to figure out a long-term deal to end the ongoing military conflict. On a call with reporters, officials described the MOU as an important step but not a bailout.

Democrats began laying a trap the moment that President Trump announced during his State of the Union that Vice President JD Vance would lead a new “war on fraud,” salivating at the possibility of political liability and dubbing the MAGA heir apparent the “fraud czar.”

On the third day of the new war with Iran, and after years of building a political reputation grounded in opposition to foreign intervention, Vice President JD Vance broke his silence: He supports the strikes and believes the latest adventure abroad is not only prudent but consistent with his and President Trump’s promises not to risk American lives for regime change.
