The secretary of state has put distance between himself and the Iran deal, remaining completely silent about the 14-point plan.

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA) criticized his GOP rival, dubbing him a neocon for supporting regime change and "bombing Iran" while a candidate for Congress.

"The logistics of these negotiations have never been simple or predictable," a White House spokesperson said.

Leaders were typically more diplomatic and reserved in their reception, while major media outlets let loose in criticism or praise.

Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's first statement since the agreement was announced was delivered in writing, emphasizing his authority.

The Senate Armed Services chairman said he backed Trump's operations in Iran, but warned the deal could undermine the success of military operations.

Vance suggested that Israel owes Trump some loyalty, as he is "the only head of state in the entire world" sympathetic to Jerusalem.

Levin made his remarks shortly after reports arose that Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to sway the Iran deal through right-wing pundits.

Israel released a new map of its footprint in Lebanon, showing it has slightly expanded its "security zone" in the country by a few miles.

The opportunity for Vance is that ending the war and shifting the focus back to domestic issues is what's best for the GOP.
