US Iran War: The possible ongoing talks amid US-Iran tension have now given rise to a new political debate. If there is no deal then who will be held responsible? The discussion has intensified in American politics whether President Donald Trump, in his old style, will blame someone else for the failure this time too, and whether JD Vance is being put forward for this.
Why might Vance become a target?
The old pattern of Trump’s politics has been to take full credit for success and blame others for failure. In the current situation, JD Vance was not directly involved in the decisions about the war, but now he has been brought forward in the negotiation process. In such a situation, if no agreement is reached, his image may suffer in the election equation of 2028.
Vance pushed into ‘high-risk mission’?
It is being claimed in many reports that Trump has deliberately put Vance in a mission in which the risk is high and the benefit is less. Political analysts believe that if talks fail, Vance could easily be made a ‘scapegoat’.
Trump’s statement became the center of discussion
A statement of Trump during Easter lunch is now going viral, in which he had said in a joking manner but clearly – ‘If the deal is not made, I will blame JD Vance, and if it is made, I will take full credit.’ This statement has sparked a new debate regarding his intentions.
Can Israel also be accused?
There is also discussion in the Republican camp that if the situation worsens, can Israel also be held responsible for this crisis. As the chances of a ‘good outcome’ diminish, Trump’s supporters may look for alternatives to blame someone else.

What could be a ‘good-ish’ deal?
According to analysts, there is only one “somewhat good” outcome left – Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the US withdrawing its forces from the Persian Gulf. However, this would not be a completely good deal, as it would neither lead to regime change in Iran nor completely stop its nuclear program.
Threat of war and economic crisis
In the current situation, the biggest danger is energy crisis and large-scale war. If America takes military action, the lives of thousands of soldiers could be in danger and regional tensions could further increase. At the same time, if there is an unconditional withdrawal, it will be a big image loss for Trump and American power.
Questions on Trump’s ‘deal’ strategy
In recent times, Trump’s strategy has been to push Iran towards an agreement by using both ‘fear and greed’. On one hand he extends the deadline for the attack, on the other he threatens to send additional troops. But even Trump himself does not have a clear answer to what will happen next if Iran does not bow down.
Increasing pressure amid uncertainty
As time is passing and no concrete results are emerging, political and strategic pressure on Trump is increasing. In such a situation, it will be important to see in which direction these talks go in the coming days and who ultimately becomes the ‘scapegoat’.
