Dan Bongino says classified intelligence showed Iran posed far more than a nuclear threat, pointing to cyberattacks, assassination plots, and what he calls a regime willing to use any weapon it acquires:
“If we had that Men in Black mind-wipe device and could read everyone into the President’s Daily Brief every morning, I promise you that even some of his most hardcore critics would say, ‘Wow, he definitely made the right call.’ I’m limited in what I can say, but I’ll tell you this: it wasn’t just the nuclear threat that was urgent. It was the cyber threat the Iranians were engaged in, the lethal plotting, and the assassination attempts. And I want everyone listening to remember this: they do not subscribe to the idea of mutually assured destruction. They do not act with the same logic or restraint as other adversaries. Even Putin, however dangerous he may be, does not want a nuclear weapon hitting Moscow. But the Iranians, in my view, are different. It is a bloodthirsty theocracy. If you give them the ability to kill us—if you hand them the gun—they’re going to use it.”
Dan Bongino warns Democrats are trying to dismantle the Trump administration’s FBI reforms, arguing the disruption of a terror plot targeting the UFC event at the White House proves those counterterrorism efforts are working:
“Sean, the only thing the Democrats are going to reimagine, if they undo all the work the Trump administration, Kash, and I did over the last year to get the FBI back on the right track, is a higher crime rate. The crime rate didn’t fall to historic lows by accident. This is not rocket science. We’re arresting bad people who commit crimes. When they’re in jail, they can’t commit those crimes. The national security threats we face right now are too serious to be playing around with calls to defund the police or defund ICE. The terror plot disruption we just carried out—alongside the outstanding work of the Secret Service—would never have happened without a serious drone mitigation program and a reorganized counterterrorism and counterintelligence effort. It simply would not have happened.”

Vice President Vance pushes back on President Obama’s JCPOA comparison, arguing Gulf Arab nations support the Trump deal and opposed the Obama-era agreement:
“And I’d ask the former president, Obama, this: if it’s the same thing, why is it that the Gulf Arab states hated your deal and they love our deal? They are the ones who live in the region. They know what it means to enrich the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and they also know what it means to turn over a new leaf and move toward a different future. So I think President Obama should acknowledge that the people closest to this situation love the Trump deal and hated the Obama deal. And that may be the biggest endorsement of this plan.”
Vice President Vance says Iran will not receive a single U.S. taxpayer dollar, arguing any future economic benefits depend on abandoning its nuclear ambitions:
First of all, they never get a dime of American taxpayer money—ever. Full stop. Not even close. What we have said is that there is a lot of economic benefit in the United States relieving sanctions and welcoming them back into the world economy. There is a lot of prosperity that can come from that. It’s not American money, but there are economic opportunities that can follow. What the president has said to them is this: we want you to be a successful country. But for you to be successful, you have to give up this threat. You have to give up the desire to obtain a nuclear weapon. And if you do that, the United States is willing to have a much better relationship.”
Vice President Vance pushes back on claims about Iran, saying the deal keeps the Strait of Hormuz open, lowers oil prices, and ensures Tehran never gets a nuclear weapon:
“I’ve seen a lot of misinformation out there. I’ve seen claims that $24 billion is going from the United States to Iran. That number is totally false, completely made up. Fundamentally, what this agreement does is, first, ensure that the Strait of Hormuz is open immediately. You’re already seeing oil prices come down substantially, and I think they’re only going to fall further. Number two, it ensures that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. And number three, it says that if the Iranians are willing to change their behavior—if they’re willing to act like a normal country, stop trying to build a nuclear weapon, and stop funding terrorism throughout the Middle East—then we are willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with them.”
