Vance on Israeli critics of Trump's Iran deal: might not want to attack ally

US Vice President JD Vance defended President Donald Trump, warning that Israel's criticism of the US-Iran peace agreement may jeopardize its relationship with the US, its main ally.

U.S. Vice ‌President ​JD Vance excoriated Israeli critics of the U.S.-Iran interim ‌peace agreement, warning Thursday, "I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left ‌in the entire world." Speaking to reporters ‌from the White House, Vance said that President Donald Trump was "the only head of state in ⁠the entire world ​who ⁠is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at ⁠this moment in time," and chastised Israeli cabinet members ​that the majority of the Jewish State's ⁠defensive weapons were provided through U.S. funding.

"The problem for ⁠Israel ​is not Donald J. Trump and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest ⁠problem is the President of the United States needs ⁠to ⁠wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country ‌is ‌in," Vance said.
