U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that a New York Times story published yesterday amounts to 'exact evidence' that influencers in America are being paid to attack the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, adding that 'certain people within the Israeli government who hate the deal' are involved.
In his latest statement at 10:49 Jerusalem time, Vice President JD Vance escalated his accusations against Israeli government figures by claiming 'exact evidence' of a paid influence campaign. He cited a New York Times story published yesterday that allegedly describes influencers in America being paid to attack the emerging U.S.-Iran agreement, adding that 'certain people within the Israeli government who hate the deal' are involved.
Today's thread began at 09:30 when Vance alleged that unnamed Israeli government entities funded campaigns against him, citing leaked documents from Time Magazine. At 10:08 he claimed that Israeli government figures are trying to shift U.S. policy and manipulate American public opinion to prolong the war indefinitely. Last night at 22:50 he first accused Israeli government elements of paying to defame him, and at 23:29 he said Israel is 'effectively better than most countries' at influencing U.S. politics. The earlier statements cited Time Magazine leaks and an online smear campaign.
This latest statement introduces a new source — the New York Times — and frames the alleged payments as evidence of a broader effort to undermine the agreement. The specific details of the Times story and the claimed payments have not been independently verified. The thread reflects a sustained pattern of Vance accusing Israeli government actors of interfering in American domestic politics to oppose the Iran deal.
