Vice President JD Vance backed President Donald Trump’s online response to Iranian “trash talk” as the United States participates in peace negotiations in Lucerne, Switzerland.
As U.S. negotiators, led by Vance, participated in the Swiss peace talks with the Iranian delegation through Pakistani and Qatari intermediaries over the weekend, Trump kept up his Truth Social postings. Trump blasted the Iranian regime, declaring Iran “FINISHED” on Friday and saying on Sunday that the U.S. would “hit Iran very hard again” if its proxies didn’t stop “causing trouble” in Lebanon. Vance defended Trump’s rhetoric as a response to Iranian “trash talk,” after the Iranians threatened to walk out on negotiations.
