Vance uses bizarre skydiving wife analogy as he discusses Iranian ceasefire demands

JD Vance used an analogy about his wife wanting to skydive while discussing Iranian demands following a shaky truce between Tehran and the US.

It comes after Donald Trump said that he had received a 10-point proposal from Iran, judging it “a workable basis on which to negotiate”.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council said that Washington had agreed to accept Iran's proposals, and that "the United States has, in principle, committed to" conditions such as "acceptance of enrichment."

In a Truth Social post, Trump said: “There will be no enrichment of uranium.”

Speaking to reporters as he departed Budapest, Vance said: "[Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf] said we refuse to give up the right to enrichment.

“My wife has the right to skydive, but she doesn't jump out of an airplane because she and I have an agreement that she's not gonna do that."
