UMVA has learned that former Vice President Mike Pence has strongly criticized the recent Iran Memorandum of Understanding signed by President Donald Trump, labeling it as a disappointing example of appeasement.
Pence asserted that the agreement falls short of what is required to end the Iranian threat, and instead, amounts to nothing more than "a plan to make a plan." He expressed concern that the memorandum does not provide a sufficient solution to Iran's nuclear ambitions, its support for terrorism, and its decades-long conflict with the U.S. and Israel.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Pence emphasized that President Trump deserves credit for taking a strong stance against Iran, and that every American should welcome the prospect of peace in the region. However, he argued that the current agreement does not meet the necessary standards to ensure a defeated Iran does not pose a continued threat.
Pence highlighted the success of the "maximum pressure" strategy, which he believes led Iran to come to the negotiating table. He suggested that the 60-day period should be used to secure a more comprehensive agreement that addresses Iran's nuclear ambitions, its support for terrorism, and its history of warfare against the U.S. and Israel.
If these goals cannot be achieved, Pence urged President Trump to consider using military force to finish the job. His comments have sparked a heated debate about the best approach to dealing with Iran, and the potential consequences of a prolonged conflict in the region.
