JD Vance

Vance's comments appeared to be an effort to counter questions about whether his well-known anti-war and isolationist views put him at odds with Trump.

CBS added that the White House further believes that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is currently pulling the strings within Iran. 

Attendees clapped when Sen. Ted Cruz called Carlson “the single-most dangerous demagogue in the country,” and speakers praised US President Donald Trump for recently casting him aside as “not MAGA.” 

Vice President JD Vance praised Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Huckabee, declining to criticize Carlson despite antisemitism allegations and rising concern among Jewish conservatives.

The briefing came while the Trump administration's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner were in Geneva holding nuclear talks with Iran.

The talks are expected to determine whether there is still a path to an agreement between Tehran and Washington, or whether the likelihood of a US military strike will rise significantly.

“The first phase is that we are depriving Hamas of one of its most important means: the tunnels," Duhine told N12 News.

"If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, there are a lot of other regimes, some friendly, some not so friendly, who would get nuclear weapons after them," Vance said.

According to Araghchi, Tehran last seach initiative is how Iran is preparing for the next round of talks with the US, even as it closely watches US moves.

The Trump administration’s push for peace follows the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan that stretches back to the 1990s.
