Vance appeals to MAGA base ahead of Trump’s ‘further action’ in Iran
Vice President JD Vance expressed support for potential military action by President Donald trump against Iranian nuclear enrichment, aiming too reassure MAGA supporters who are skeptical about U.S.intervention.In a recent social media post,Vance conveyed that Trump has a strong track record of opposition to Iran’s nuclear capabilities and emphasized that Iran’s uranium enrichment exceeds the threshold for peaceful use. He pointed to reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency indicating violations of nonproliferation agreements by Iran. Vance also noted that critics of intervention have yet to present compelling arguments against taking action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, reinforcing his belief that ensuring global safety includes preventing the world’s most perilous regimes from obtaining nuclear capabilities.
Vance appeals to MAGA base ahead of Trump possibly taking ‘further action’ in Iran
Vice President JD Vance said in a social media post on Tuesday that President Donald Trump may “take further action to end Iranian enrichment.”
In his appeal to MAGA critics of a possible intervention, Vance wrote, “I believe the president has earned some trust on this issue.”
Vance’s defense of intervention came one day after Tucker Carlson posted an interview with Steve Bannon, in which they criticized America’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Carlson said the MAGA coalition “kind of feels like it’s being blown up over this war in Iran.”
These criticisms from the Right prompted Vance’s post on Tuesday. Vance said, “POTUS has been amazingly consistent, over 10 years, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.”
The post continued by highlighting Iran’s enrichment of uranium, pointing to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s recent report that Iran was violating its nuclear nonproliferation obligations.
Responding to the discourse within the MAGA movement over a possible intervention in Iran, Vance said, “I have yet to see a single good argument for why Iran needed to enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I’ve yet to see a single good argument for why Iran was justified in violating its non-proliferation obligations.”
Vance has been critical of American interventionism in the past. He called the premise of the Iraq War “a lie” and was a skeptic of aid to Ukraine while serving in the Senate. As vice president, Vance said he doesn’t “really care what happens to Ukraine, one way or the other.”
TRUMP: ‘WE NOW HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL OF THE SKIES OVER IRAN’
Vance concluded his post by saying about Trump, “I can assure you that he is only interested in using the American military to accomplish the American people’s goals.”
After meeting with Republican senators, Vance expanded on his X post. He said, “Part of safety … is ensuring that the worst people in the world don’t have a nuclear bomb. And part of ensuring that they don’t have a nuclear bomb is ensuring they don’t have the enrichment capacity to get there.”
