US EditionTrump says Vance was ‘philosophically’ different on Iran while downplaying split
Trump highlighted unity with Vice President J.D. Vance despite differing views on Iran, as tensions rise in the Republican Party amid ongoing conflict and election year challenges.

- Trump's hawkish record, including ordering the drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani, widely seen as escalating tensions, and ending the Iran nuclear deal, shapes current policy choices.
