It highlights how pro-intervention hawks oppose President Donald Trump&#8217;s deal to end the Iran War, criticizing its details and expressing concern about Iran&#8217;s intentions.Vice President J.D. Vance defends the agreement, emphasizing that no American money is being given to Iran unless they fulfill their obligations, contrasting it with the Obama-era JCPOA.

Trump\u2019s recent comments suggest a desire to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >de-escalate conflicts<\/a>, criticizing Israeli military actions and calling for an end to fighting in Lebanon, which puts him at odds with certain pro-Israel factions. the political landscape is divided on how to approach Middle Eastern conflicts, with future shifts dependent on negotiations and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-may-need-democrats-for-house-speaker-plan-b-unclear-if-theyll-help\/\" title=\"GOP may require Democrats&#039; assistance for House speaker &#039;Plan B,&#039; uncertain if they&#039;ll cooperate.\">intra-party dynamics<\/a>.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The ongoing Republican civil war between neocons and America First anti-interventionists entered a new phase this week.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, war hawks on the right have bristled at President Donald Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-announces-iran-deal-complete-says-military-operations-will-end-immediately\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deal<\/a> to end the months-long Iran War.

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina \u2014 long regarded by many America First anti-interventionists as a warmongering neocon \u2014 expressed concern over the deal\u2019s details and made it clear that he held Vice President J.D.

Not a single dollar of American money will go to Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vice president then said that sanctions relief will come when Iran makes the \u201clong-term commitments that are necessary to be a normal country, to give up their nuclear weapons program, to stop funding terrorist activities all over the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Vance told Stephanopoulos what he told \u201cCBS Mornings.\u201d Namely, Trump\u2019s Iran deal benefits everyone far more than Obama\u2019s JCPOA did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fundamental difference is that the Gulf Coast coalition \u2014 our Arab partners in the region \u2014 they hated the JCPOA, because they felt that it emboldened Iran to be a bad actor. They love this deal, because they feel that it\u2019s gonna create a totally new dynamic in the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vance concluded by predicting that \u201cif the Iranians meet us,\u201d the deal will lead to a \u201ctotally new direction for them, for the United States, and for the whole region.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">VP JD VANCE: \u201cI\u2019d caution Lindsay Graham and anybody else not to believe the hardliner propaganda in Iran\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hFKNWTJBdb\">pic.twitter.com\/hFKNWTJBdb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ALX \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@alx) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alx\/status\/2066536785128153585?\">June 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Graham, of course, had shown considerably less enthusiasm for the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to hear the memorandum of understanding with Iran to allow the Strait of Hormuz to open has been agreed to.

On the question of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, he still does.<\/p>\n<p>Signs of fissures have emerged, however, in the wake of the president\u2019s Iran peace deal.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, on Tuesday at the G7 Summit in France, Trump blasted Israel for excessive attacks against Hezbollah in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/israel-continues-strikes-lebanon-day-trump-netanyahu-call\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lebanon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what, Israel\u2019s fighting Hezbollah too long, and too many people are being killed, and you don\u2019t have to knock down an apartment house every time you\u2019re looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they\u2019re not all Hezbollah. That I can tell you,\u201d the president said in a clip posted to X. \u201cAnd I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah, because, to be honest with you, I think they\u2019d do a better job of doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">SHOTS FIRED\u2026 President Trump just dunked on Israel for committing War Crimes against Civilians<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsrael has been fighting Hezbollah TOO LONG and too many people are being killed, and you don\u2019t have to KNOCK DOWN an apartment house everytime you\u2019re looking for somebody, because\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/G1GvDH7pyr\">pic.twitter.com\/G1GvDH7pyr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MJTruthUltra\/status\/2066861879230677103?\">June 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In other words, Trump wants the fighting to end everywhere, including Lebanon.

Will they push for Israel to finish the job against Hezbollah? Is that what Graham meant by \u201cother matters\u201d? And will they push Trump to reignite the Iran conflict?<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the South Carolina senator has identified Vance as a proxy for everything neocons hate about the peace deal.
