Caption: JD Vance Accuses Israeli Officials Of Influencing U.S. Opinion On Iran War. U.S. Vice President JD Vance has accused some members of the Israeli government of trying to influence American public opinion to prolong the war with Iran. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, Vance claimed some Israeli officials opposed U.S. negotiations with Iran and worked to undermine a diplomatic deal. Vance said he trusted some members of the Israeli government but alleged others were running a well-funded campaign to derail peace efforts. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump agrees that foreign governments often try to influence U.S. public opinion. Vance, who has been involved in negotiations with Iran, said the greater concern is when American leaders allow foreign influence to shape U.S. policy. His remarks are the latest in a series of public criticisms of Israel as the Trump administration pursues both diplomacy and military action in the conflict. The U.S. and Israel launched major strikes on Iran earlier this year, prompting retaliatory attacks by Tehran on Israel and U.S.-allied countries. Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected a proposal to cut billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, although more than 100 lawmakers backed the measure.
