The NYT is throwing Trump under the bus and protects Vance as the next candidate:

The timing is really suspicious. The fact that all this opposition in internal meetings is leaked could mean two things:

1) The establishment is genuinely upset with Trump.

2) The ceasefire is a ruse and all this purported opposition is deliberately leaked to pretend that the US now really wants peace but is actually shipping ground troops to the region (at best) or manufacturing internal consent for nuclear bunker busters (at worst).

The fact that Trump posted that he considers the maximalist Iranian 10 point plan as a basis for negotiations points to 2). He has always attacked Iran during "negotiations".
