GOP hawks vocally protested the administration\u2019s decision to not share specific text immediately and, since seeing it, have roundly criticized the accord as too generous to Iran. One Republican senator described it as \u201cthe worst foreign policy blunder in decades.\u201d And President Donald Trump and Vance have given conflicting statements about the path forward, including on what would happen if Iran violated the agreement.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some of the ire has been directed specifically at Vance, a known war skeptic, who championed the agreement as a major victory across more than a dozen television and podcast appearances this week despite indications it would do little to immediately achieve the US\u2019 core goals.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cSomebody has told JD Vance that a bad deal is better than no deal,\u201d said a former senior Trump administration official. \u201cAnd, clearly, nobody else wants to wear the jacket on this when it goes south.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The criticism marks the latest wartime blow for Vance, who has delicately navigated his involvement in a conflict that he had private reservations about from the outset.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            It also threatens to complicate his path to the presidency should he decide to run. Once an outspoken critic of foreign wars, the vice president has since stridently defended the Iran offensive \u2014 even as he continued to privately search for a path toward peace.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The approach has troubled outside allies who saw him as a bulwark against the GOP\u2019s interventionist wing, including secretary of state and potential 2028 rival Marco Rubio. And it has simultaneously irritated some within the administration, who bristled at what two senior advisers described as a contrarian streak that could complicate decisionmaking surrounding the war.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"President Donald Trump departs a Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room of the White House on June 18, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-3090\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2eaa53715d13c80608574c0748491e0f.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2eaa53715d13c80608574c0748491e0f.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2eaa53715d13c80608574c0748491e0f-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>President Donald Trump departs a Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room of the White House on June 18, 2026.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Andrew Harnik\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Trump, who has closely monitored Vance\u2019s progress on Iran and frequently quizzed friends and advisers on how Vance and Rubio compare, semi-jokingly acknowledged the vice president\u2019s bind during a Wednesday press conference.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf it works out, I\u2019m going to take the credit,\u201d Trump said of the peace agreement. \u201cIf it doesn\u2019t work out, I\u2019m blaming JD.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance has framed the agreement as the best option the country has to end the war, saying in a briefing Thursday: \u201cPeople say the Iranians will never change their behavior. Well, maybe that\u2019s true, and if so they don\u2019t get any of the benefits of the bargain. But isn\u2019t it worth trying?\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance has also downplayed the implications for his personal ambitions, insisting that he\u2019s not yet contemplating a 2028 run and characterizing his involvement in the talks as meant solely to help get the two nations to an acceptable truce.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere is a risk if the deal blows up, if the deal is a massive failure, if the deal is extremely unpopular, then Vance is the fall guy,\u201d said Curt Mills, a Vance ally and executive director of The American Conservative, who\u2019s argued going to war was a grave political miscalculation. \u201cBut the default was a disaster. JD is not going to be president if the administration is this unpopular.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Repeated negotiating failures\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Vance has sought to be a key part of the peacemaking push since before the war began, at times prompting concern among his colleagues about the implications for a future presidential run.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance met with Oman\u2019s foreign minister on February 27 in an effort to stave off war with Iran, only to watch Trump wipe out the nation\u2019s leadership in a barrage of strikes the next day.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            After spending the war\u2019s early stages backchanneling in pursuit of an eventual negotiated settlement, Vance then pushed for a role in the first face-to-face talks with the Iranian regime. White House officials agreed, calculating that his presence would help ensure that the Iranians sent high-level officials of their own.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A plume of smoke rises after a strike on the Iranian capital Tehran, on March 3, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-3091\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0b7a6d86397487ea25ecf0116e9266e0-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0b7a6d86397487ea25ecf0116e9266e0-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0b7a6d86397487ea25ecf0116e9266e0-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0b7a6d86397487ea25ecf0116e9266e0.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>A plume of smoke rises after a strike on the Iranian capital Tehran, on March 3, 2026.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Atta Kenare\/AFP\/Getty Images\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Still, some White House officials worried at the time that allowing Vance to lead the US delegation to Pakistan would amount to a political misstep if the talks fell through \u2014 which they eventually did, generating a wave of unflattering coverage.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe didn\u2019t think it through,\u201d a senior White House official said of the Islamabad summit, arguing that the vice president needed to be more strategic about decisions that could affect a 2028 run. \u201cHe put himself at the front of the line, and then The New York Times headline is, \u2018Vance loses.\u2019\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the setback appeared to do little to change Vance\u2019s approach. He had planned to travel back to Pakistan for a second round of talks before they were called off. Since then, officials said, Vance has been closely involved in the weeks of deliberations that ultimately led to this week\u2019s memorandum of understanding.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The vice president, already in the midst of promoting his new book, made clear to Trump in recent days that he wanted to take the lead in touting the agreement, a source briefed on the internal conversations said.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3074\">Trump\u2019s Iran agreement draws rare reproach from powerful Republicans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            A senior official said Trump has encouraged Vance to take a central role. And in the wake of the agreement, there were few others options for messengers; most other senior officials involved in the talks were overseas with Trump at the G7 summit.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Vance subsequently celebrated the agreement in a multiday media blitz, portraying it as a \u201cbig win for the American people\u201d that had handed the US greater leverage over Iran.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf the Iranians comply with this deal, it is going to fundamentally transform the Middle East,\u201d Vance told Fox News shortly after the pact was announced.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Worst foreign policy blunder in decades\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Yet with each successive day, the criticism has only grown louder. Marc Thiessen, a conservative commentator who had advocated war with Iran, dubbed the agreement the \u201cVance peace deal\u201d while denouncing the potential creation of a $300 billion fund for Iran in any final truce as \u201cutterly disastrous.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans have slammed the agreement for lifting key sanctions on Iran without forcing any concrete concessions from the regime regarding its nuclear ambitions. And Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana excoriated the framework after text was released Wednesday, saying on X that \u201cReagan is rolling over in his grave.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cBefore the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped,\u201d Cassidy continued. \u201cThis is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            More Republican lawmakers have since piled on, with Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker decrying the pact as \u201ccompletely out of step with the president\u2019s goals.\u201d The Mississippi Republican also said the $300 billion fund to Iran laid out in the text made the widely criticized \u201cpayoff\u201d under the Obama administration\u2019s 2015 Iran deal \u201clook like a pittance by comparison.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Amid the wave of skepticism, sources in and around the White House insisted that Vance wasn\u2019t being hung out to dry trying to sell a doomed agreement, and that Trump believed it\u2019s set the US on a winning path.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            As for Vance\u2019s most vocal critics, one Trumpworld source dismissed them as largely irrelevant to the White House\u2019s view of his performance or his political future. They have little influence within the administration, the source argued, especially as officials reviewed early polling that showed enthusiasm among voters for the peace agreement.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere\u2019s no real downside risk to the president and vice president for giving the peace process a chance,\u201d the source said. \u201cIn fact, they are getting credit for it.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Vance v. Rubio\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Yet among some of Vance\u2019s supporters, there is still some measure of dismay at his rush to own an accord that could easily collapse by the end of the summer.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf I was his political adviser, I would tell him to sit back and let this play out,\u201d one Republican operative close to the White House told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Others noted that as the scrutiny intensified, Rubio had conspicuously receded from the spotlight. The secretary of state stood behind Trump at a press conference this week that largely focused on the Iran agreement, but he remained stone-faced and silent throughout the hour.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cRubio is being put in a very strong position here,\u201d one former Trump official said of the Iran fallout.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Some Vance allies insisted that despite the initial criticism, the vice president could still emerge stronger, having bolstered his foreign policy credentials ahead of 2028 while playing a central role in trying to extract the US from a war that few Americans support.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"U.S. Vice President JD Vance gestures as he boards Air Force Two, after peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, Sunday, April 12, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-3092\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d911214623c883c11827223103088d05.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d911214623c883c11827223103088d05.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/d911214623c883c11827223103088d05-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>U.S. Vice President JD Vance gestures as he boards Air Force Two, after peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, Sunday, April 12, 2026.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Jacquelyn Martin\/Pool\/Reuters<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"US Secretary of State Marco Rubio testifies during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing concerning the fiscal year 2027 budget for the State Department on June 2.\" class=\"wp-image-3093\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/126eb1fbb6e9e0d8fc9a4aef3c33f4ae.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/126eb1fbb6e9e0d8fc9a4aef3c33f4ae.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/126eb1fbb6e9e0d8fc9a4aef3c33f4ae-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>US Secretary of State Marco Rubio testifies during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing concerning the fiscal year 2027 budget for the State Department on June 2.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Brendan Smialowski\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe\u2019s a steady hand on the messaging tiller, and it\u2019s a great opportunity for him to feature his input on foreign affairs,\u201d said one person close to the White House. \u201cI\u2019m certain it\u2019s a risk he considered, and that gives me more confidence in this because he decided it\u2019s a risk worth taking.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But as Vance prepared to negotiate the next phase of an agreement he\u2019d hailed as a milestone, even those in his own White House were casting down on the odds it would lead to lasting peace.
