Pence Denounces 60-Day U.S.-Iran Memorandum as Appeasement

Mike Pence said the U.S.-Iran memorandum President Donald Trump signed last week is not a real deal but "a plan to make a plan" that leaves the Iranian threat intact.
The former vice president argued the 60-day framework lacks core demands he says are needed for peace: ending Iran's nuclear ambitions, Iranian-backed terrorism and threats tied to the Strait of Hormuz.
Pence said Tehran came to the table only because maximum pressure, military force and a blockade pushed the regime to the brink, making the current terms too soft for a weakened Iran.
Citing a recent Hezbollah drone strike that killed four Israeli soldiers, he said any final agreement must be verifiable and warned Trump should let U.S. forces "finish the job" if those goals are not met.
