## Resource

Vice President JD Vance steps to the White House podium to deliver the first full briefing on the Iran MOU since its signing, opening with news that gas prices dropped below $4 for the first time since the conflict and 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait overnight. Vance walks through the deal structure in detail: Iran gets nothing unless it performs, the US pays zero, and every sanction comes back on if they misbehave. He draws a sharp contrast with the Obama JCPOA, noting the deal was negotiated from a position of total military destruction rather than a position of trying to bribe a functioning nuclear program. The briefing closes with one of the sharpest lines of the week, directed at members of Netanyahu's cabinet who have been attacking Trump publicly, reminding them that two thirds of the weapons protecting Israel were built by American hands.
