JD Vance claims US holds all the cards in Iran and will win 'either way' [View all]

JD Vance has said that the US wins "either way" regarding negotiations with Iran, pointing to what he called the destruction of its nuclear program and diminishment as a country.

"If we make the final deal, then great," the US vice-president told HBO's Bill Maher. "If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed. They're still much weaker as a country, so my attitude is America wins either way."

Vance said that the increased flow of oil through the strait of Hormuz was a "signal that there's something real going on".

But he acknowledged that the ceasefire deal between Donald Trump and the Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, under a 60-day memorandum of understanding (MOU), "is always going to be a little messy when you're dealing with the Iranians".
