JD Vance Appears on Fox News Mere Seconds After Trump Announces Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran: We Got it ‘Across the Finish Line!’

Vice President JD Vance appeared on Fox News, Monday just seconds after President Donald Trump claimed that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran had been negotiated to take place in six hours time.

“Mr. Vice President, thanks for coming,” said Fox News host Bret Baier after introducing Vance to his show. “Just seconds ago, the president went to Truth Social and typed this: ‘It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire.’ Complete and total ceasefire is what he typed. What does that mean? How did it come about? What’s the development?”

Vance replied, “Well, we were actually working on that just as I left the White House to come over here, so that’s good news that the president was able to get that across the finish line.”

He continued:

I think what it means, Bret, is quite simple. First of all, the president, without, knock on wood, having a single American casualty, obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. We are now in a place where we weren’t a week ago. A week ago, Iran was very close to having a nuclear weapon. Now, Iran is incapable of building a nuclear weapon with the equipment they had because we destroyed it. So that’s a very, very big thing. Now, what that means, I think, is we have to talk to Iran, and of course to Israel, about what the future holds because, while we have obliterated the nuclear Iranian program, our hope and our exception is they’re not gonna try to rebuild that program, and I think that’s what the president is really trying to figure out here, is to build a long-term settlement here to where we can have peace in the region, where our regional allies, and of course the American people most importantly can be secured, but where we can ensure that the destruction of the Iranian nuclear program that has already happened is not something they try to rebuild.

Later on in the interview, Baier asked, “How often does it happen where you’re gonna do an interview and you get a Truth Social seconds before? You have some sense of it, but it’s pretty detailed where you are being asked about something the president has just put out?”

“In this administration, Bret, it happens quite a bit, actually,” responded Vance. “But we knew this was coming.”
