By: LifeScope News Editorial Desk Vice President JD Vance is aggressively defending President Donald Trump 's controversial peace agreement with Iran, insisting that the United States will not hand over money or economic benefits unless Tehran fully complies with the deal's requirements. Speaking during a White House briefing as the newly signed U.S.-Iran framework agreement entered its 60-day implementation phase, Vance pushed back against criticism from both Republicans and Democrats who argue the deal gives Iran too much leverage. He emphasized that no American funds are being transferred simply because Iran signed the agreement. "We're not giving Iran a cent," Vance said, adding that any future economic benefits depend entirely on verifiable Iranian actions rather than promises or signatures.

The ruling stems from a challenge brought by a gun owner who argued that federal law unfairly stripped constitutional rights from individuals who were not violent criminals, drug traffickers, or chronic substance abusers. Att...

  By: LifeScope News Editorial Desk Raw emotion filled a New York courtroom as relatives of victims confronted the man known as the Gilgo Beach serial killer during a dramatic sentencing hearing that marked another major chapter in one of America's most notorious murder cases.
