FADEL: This is not my fault. I was not involved in this fault. INSKEEP: I didn't - no, I didn't say it was your fault. FADEL: (Laughter). INSKEEP: I said it was my fault. I was talking to you. You talking to me? FADEL: We were chatting... INSKEEP: Yes. FADEL: ...About the world. INSKEEP: Yes. FADEL: And world affairs. INSKEEP: Very important things to talk about.

That's Steve Inskeep, and this is UP FIRST from NPR News. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) FADEL: Vice President Vance lashed out at Israel for criticizing the deal with Iran. He says Iran will be paid only if it performs. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) JD VANCE: If they change their behavior, big things are going to happen for Iran and for the world. If they don't, no skin off our backs. Either way, we win. FADEL: How did Vance become the face of this deal? INSKEEP: Also former President Obama opened his presidential center in Chicago. The museum begins the story, not with Obama's election in 2008, but with the Declaration of Independence. Tamara Keith had a look. Stay with us. We've got the news you need to start your day.
