US Vice President JD Vance blames Iranian leaders for the breakdown of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, saying they “screwed up” by deciding to target commercial ships in regional waters, Al Jazeera reports.
In his interview with journalist Vince Coglianese, he says, “I think the Iranians recognise that they screwed up, that they signed a deal with us, we had a ceasefire, we had energy prices that had come down and we had the possibility … that if the Iranians behaved, they would get a lot out of a better relationship with the United States.
“But what happened? They didn’t behave. They started shooting at commercial shipping,” he adds.
