Vice President JD Vance is scrambling to rein in President Donald Trump as he weighs whether to strike Iran.
Vance, 41, is leading a group of senior administration officials who are trying to put the brakes on Trump, 79, and convince him to engage in diplomacy with the country’s regime, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing U.S. officials.
But Trump, who launched strikes against Venezuela and abducted the country’s president earlier this month, is leaning towards striking Iran in retaliation for the regime’s violent crackdown on protesters during the ongoing uprising, according to the officials.
