JD Vance accidentally said the quiet part out loud about Iran talks: analyst

Vice President JD Vance inadvertently revealed sensitive strategic calculations by disclosing President Donald Trump instructed Iran peace negotiators to use the [memorandum of understanding] to refill the world's oil economy, refill some stocks and then to see where the hand is.

Parton attributes Vance's blunder to a culture of unfiltered communication cascading from Trump, who has long struggled with impulse control.
