Vance countered by pointing out that Gulf Arab states prefer the current deal, suggesting their close regional involvement offers a more accurate viewpoint. He emphasized that these countries understand the risks of dealing with Iran and support the current agreement, contrasting it with Obama\u2019s deal, which he claimed involved substantial U.S. payments to Iran. Vance also clarified that the deal does not involve direct U.S.monetary payments to Iran,only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/first-public-congressional-ufo-hearing-in-50-years-reveals-pentagon-not-interested-in-transparency\/\" title=\"First Public Congressional UFO Hearing in 50 Years Reveals Pentagon Not Interested in Transparency\">potential future investments<\/a> if Iran complies with the terms. the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >debate reflects differing viewpoints<\/a> on Iran policy, with Vance asserting the current deal is more aligned with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rubio-responds-to-macrons-call-to-distance-itself-from-us-after-china-meeting\/\" title=\"After the China meet, Rubio responds to Macron&#039;s&#039;s request to distance itself from the US.\">regional interests<\/a> and U.S. sanctions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"7658\">JD Vance<\/a> shot back at former President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/barack-obama\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"360\">Barack Obama<\/a>\u2018s criticism of the deal to end the U.S. war with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\" type=\"link\" id=\"washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\">Iran<\/a>, arguing that a major indicator of the difference is the Gulf Arabs\u2019 love of the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obama voiced criticism of President Donald Trump\u2019s war with Iran, saying in an interview this week that the deal seemed to be the same as the one he obtained without armed conflict.

They know what it means to enrich the worst terrorist regime in the world, and they also know what it means to turn over a new leaf and to go to a different future,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo \u2026 he should acknowledge that the people who are closest to this, they love the Trump deal, they hate the Obama deal, and that\u2019s maybe the biggest endorsement of this plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obama made his criticism in an interview with ABC News, saying, \u201cIt is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place and had worked for for a long stretch of time before we, the United States, pulled out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump
