Vance, appearing upbeat but modestly distracted, discussed ongoing talks with Iran, emphasizing that sanctions coudl be lifted within 60 days and that gas prices are already falling as a result. He warned Israel of the U.S.&#8217;s strong support under Trump, framing him as the current world&#8217;s most sympathetic leader to Israel. The briefing was marked by disorganization, with reporters jostling and uncertain about details such as the timing and translation of the Iran deal memorandum of understanding (MOU). Officials had initially promised the text would be released within 48 hours,but delays arose due to translation issues and internal back-and-forths,leading to confusion about the official timeline. Vance also promoted his book on Catholicism, humorously referencing his book tour amidst the chaos. the event was characterized by disarray in messaging and timing, reflecting the internal and external pressures facing the administration.  <\/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\">You can always tell when the White House knows it has a problem, when its allies are turning against it, and it has an awkward proposition to sell: It sends out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: ...Pipeline... to Obama Admin Seen as ...Currency...\">vice president<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll right.

An hour before the briefing, he placed it on the floor and stood on it, elevating himself an inch above his rivals. On such small margins are reputations built.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Half a dozen women wore red dresses or blazers, helping them stand out above the grays and navies of the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was still chaos, as reporters squabbled about what color they were wearing and whether the vice president had pointed at them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s one in the white, and then one in, you know, orange.

Orange, pinkish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was news committed in the room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the clock had begun ticking on the 60-day negotiation during the early hours of Thursday, he is leading talks, sanctions on Iran can be lifted with going to Congress, and that 12.5 million barrels of oil had already passed through the Strait of Hormuz after the memorandum of understanding lifted the blockade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-4\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-25\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His main message was that Americans were already reaping the rewards with gas prices falling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he delivered a stern warning to Israel, telling its leaders that Trump was their last powerful ally in the world, an ally that was crucial in intercepting missiles destined for Israeli soil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDonald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world\u2019s superpower,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-5\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-26\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet for all the details, the week may well be remembered for the chaotic rollout of the messaging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials had said the text of the deal would be released in 48 hours. Then Trump said it wouldn\u2019t be until after Friday, before an official read it aloud on a briefing call on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials said the MOU had been signed electronically Sunday, ahead of a signing ceremony on Friday, before the president then signed it at the dinner table at the Palace of Versailles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not our fault, Vance said, as he explained that Washington\u2019s officials had been engaged in a deep back-and-forth about timing and translations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do wonder, Rob,\u201d he said in response to a <em>Secrets <\/em>question. \u201cThis is pure conjecture. I\u2019m just guessing at this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wonder if part of it is that they wanted to have a Persian translation, a Farsi translation that they felt good about. And then, of course, once they translated into Farsi, our State Department has to confirm that the Farsi translation matches the meaning of the English.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That didn\u2019t explain why he was 25 minutes late for his own briefing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it was no wonder that the vice president sounded a little hoarse. Although he admitted that it was only partly down to negotiating with a hard-line Islamist regime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve been on a bit of a book tour the past couple of days, but I can\u2019t promote my book here in the White House press briefing room,\u201d he said, before making sure to mention his book again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong><em>You are reading\u00a0a bonus edition of<\/em> Washington Secrets<em>, a guide to power and politics in D.C. and beyond.
