Can JD Vance Ever be Independent of Peter Thiel?

What was said

"Recently in an interview he was asked about the Iran ceasefire and he said oh Trump's plan really is to just give enough time to fill the oil reserves the strategic reserves with enough oil and to rearm and everything else so that you can then attack Iran again for whatever reason without having to worry about them closing the Strait of Hormuz and causing an energy crisis."

Glenn Greenwald disclosed that JD Vance recently stated in an interview that the true purpose of the Iran ceasefire is to refill strategic oil reserves and rearm so the US can attack Iran again without risking energy crisis from closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Greenwald questions whether Vance was being honest or simply providing cover for Trump to avoid appearing weak, highlighting the Vice President's unreliability on foreign policy positions.
