Donald Trump has signed a preliminary agreement to end the war in Iran. On this week’s On the Media, hear how J.D. Vance has been positioned to suffer the political fallout from the conflict – and from the much criticized deal. Plus, the theological tensions dividing the MAGA coalition.
[01:34] Host Micah Loewinger speaks with <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/cheetah.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer">Joe Perticone</a>, national political reporter at The Bulwark, about how J.D. Vance is being set up as the Iran deal “fall guy.”
[18:26] Micah talks to <a href="https://www.the7eye.org.il/writer/oren-persico" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oren Persico</a>, staff writer for The Seventh Eye, an independent Israeli website devoted to journalism and freedom of the press, about the Israeli media coverage of the Iran deal as a ‘catastrophic capitulation,’ the fracturing relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu and what it may portend for Israel’s political future. 
[34:14] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with <a href="https://matthewdtaylor.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Matthew D. Taylor</a>, visiting scholar at Georgetown University's Center on Faith and Justice, to discuss how the growing factions in the Republican party over Israel and the Iran war are part-policy, part-divergent Christian theologies.
