In an awkward moment on the world stage, US vice president JD Vance was left scrambling during a press conference after realising he had been caught off guard about new developments in the crisis with Iran. Journalists asked him to check his phone for updates about alleged US strikes, reports the Daily Beast.
Vance was standing alongside Hungarian President Viktor Orbán in Budapest when a Washington Post reporter asked if he had any intelligence suggesting a diplomatic deal with Iran was imminent. Initially, Vance responded without using his device. “I don’t—unless I have a text message from Steve Witkoff,” he said, referring to former Trump adviser and Middle East envoy.
