Washington Post highlights Trump, Vance split on Iran policy

U.S. media reports have revealed a divergence in views between President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance over American policy toward Iran, according to a report published by The Washington Post.

The newspaper explained that Vance considers keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and lowering fuel prices to be top priorities for the United States at this stage.

By contrast, Trump insists that the administration’s main goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, describing this as a critical security priority.

Meanwhile, White House deputy spokesperson Anna Kelly denied any disagreements between Trump and Vance. She told the newspaper, “There are absolutely no differences,” stressing that the president has been clear about preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and that Vance “is implementing the president’s agenda very effectively.”

In the same context, when asked about possible differences, Vance said he follows the president’s directives, but noted that “discussions and deliberations” are ongoing within the administration over next steps, without these rising to the level of public disagreement.
