JD Vance warns Israel on Iran deal

    by Magnus Shield: JD Vance

    Vice President JD Vance has issued a warning to Israeli officials regarding their opposition to a US-Iran deal. In a pointed statement, he said, "If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left, in the entire world." The remarks were made during a press appearance at the White House, where Vance stood at a podium with the presidential seal behind him.
