Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized the Iran Memorandum of Understanding signed by President Donald Trump, stating that it resembles the appeasement policies Trump previously rejected. In a Wall Street Journal article, Pence commended Trump for his approach to Iran but described the agreement as insufficient, calling it 'a plan to make a plan.' He emphasized that the memorandum does not adequately address the Iranian threat and suggested that the 60-day period following the agreement should be used to secure goals such as ending Iran's nuclear ambitions and its support for terrorism. Pence concluded by stating that if these objectives cannot be met, military action should be considered.
