Vance suggests Israeli government-linked influence campaign targeted Trump admin's Iran talks
The U.S. vice president said Israeli officials sought to shape U.S. public opinion against the administration’s Iran strategy, rejected accusations that he is anti-Israel and defended maintaining a relationship based on shared interests.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance suggested on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast that elements within the Israeli government funded an influence campaign to undermine the Trump administration's negotiations with Iran. Vance stated, "I think you have seen this very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal." He cited a news story indicating that influencers were paid by a former Trump campaign person, who was in turn paid by "certain elements within the Israeli government." Vance clarified that he views such influence efforts as a normal part of international diplomacy and maintained that Israel remains a U.S. ally, rejecting accusations of being anti-Israel. He also speculated, without evidence, that Jeffrey Epstein might have had connections to Israeli or American intelligence agencies.
