Vance: Iran Deal Could Happen in a Week or Months from Now — but ‘Absolutely’ Before Midterms

CBS News

Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. is “very close” to reaching a deal that would address Iran’s nuclear program “for the long term,” but that it could come next week or months from now.

“Right now, I feel that we are in a position to get a deal that is good for the United States economically and that really does deal with the Iranian nuclear program, not just now, not just while Donald Trump is president, but for the long term, to where my kids can say when they’re adults, ‘Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon,'” Vance told Robert Costa in an interview airing this week on “CBS Sunday Morning.”

“That’s the goal of the policy. And I think we’re very close to achieving that goal. But we still got some wood to chop. We’re going to keep doing it,” he added.

Hunter Biden recently joined X and has gained hundreds of thousands of followers, using his new perch to defend the infamous October 2020 letter which was written by dozens of former intelligence officials and which baselessly claimed Russian involvement in the emergence of incriminating evidence on his laptop's hard drive. The laptop letter — which was released just ahead of the 2020 contest between Donald Trump and Hunter Biden’s father and former Vice President Joe Biden — contributed to the baseless narrative that the Hunter Biden laptop stories were nothing but a product of Russian disinformation — a narrative happily seized upon by Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and spread by some of the laptop letter signers.

It also blocks ICE from entering schools or hospitals without a judicial warrant.

Commentary: The Way China Captured California

Jun 9, 20265 min read

Some of this can be attributed to spacey Californians who have spent half a century dreaming up green disasters. The 1979 movie The China Syndrome depicted the evil power company that built its nuclear plant on a fault line. It had nothing to do with China, except that in a meltdown, the reactor’s core would, so to speak, drop all the way there.
