A report claims Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner supported the emerging Iran deal, while Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth opposed it. No official confirmation has been released.
A new report adds detail to the internal U.S. debate over the emerging Iran agreement. The report, carried by Israeli channels, says Vice President JD Vance, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and former adviser Jared Kushner were in favor of the deal, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth opposed it. The claims are unverified and no administration official has confirmed the split. The report follows earlier speculation in Israeli media that Prime Minister Netanyahu signaled support for the framework, as The Zioneer noted earlier tonight. The specific votes or positions of the named officials have not been corroborated.
