Vice President JD Vance said in a CBS interview that Prime Minister Netanyahu made some mistakes in how he handled the US regarding Iran, but added that such conversations should remain private, according to an Arab affairs commentator. Vance stated the two countries will continue working together, but where interests diverge, Washington will act according to its own national interest.
Vice President JD Vance acknowledged in a CBS interview aired this afternoon that Prime Minister Netanyahu made mistakes in his handling of relations with Washington on the Iran issue. "Netanyahu made some mistakes for sure," Vance said, according to an Arab affairs commentator, while adding that the conversations are best kept private. Vance affirmed the two countries will continue working together, but stressed that where US and Israeli interests do not align, the United States will pursue its own national interest.
The remarks come against the backdrop of ongoing nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, Vance has stated that a long-term nuclear deal with Iran is achievable and that Washington prioritizes such an agreement over Israeli preferences. The tone marks a shift from earlier, more aligned public messaging between the two allies, although Vance explicitly avoided detailing the specific mistakes or the private conversations.
