New York Times finds a polite way to call JD Vance a liar


Headline:  New York Times, 6/18/2026

Zolan Kanno-Youngs, Rebecca F. Elliott, and Erica L. Green report:
Vice President JD Vance on Thursday defended the preliminary deal to stop the war with Iran as a “win for the American people.” But he relied in part on a string of aspirational, vague and misleading claims about the agreement. [emphasis added]
Mr. Vance, speaking at the White House, sought to counter criticism that the deal would reward and embolden Iran without ensuring that the United States achieved the main objectives laid out by President Trump at the start of the fighting. The vice president asserted that Iran would gain little if it did not agree to U.S. demands in the next phase of negotiations and will involve Iran’s nuclear program.
