Vance Accuses Israel of Funding Anti-Iran Deal Campaign

Vice President JD Vance accused Israel of funding a campaign to undermine US negotiations with Iran, citing a Time magazine report. In an interview with Joe Rogan, Vance said the Israeli government allegedly paid former Trump campaign adviser Brad Parscale to influence conservative voices against a potential ceasefire deal. Vance described the effort as a "very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign" aimed at derailing negotiations. He also dismissed claims that his own policies were influenced by foreign governments, including Qatar, or media figures like Tucker Carlson. Vance warned that opposing factions within the Republican Party sought to prolong military conflict with Iran, risking a refugee crisis and terrorism. He argued against regime change or prolonged airstrikes, citing past failures like Libya. Vance emphasized the need for a negotiated settlement to avoid further destabilization.
