Vance puts US goals above Israel as Iran nuclear talks advance
What's new: He said Tehran is offering "real things" in negotiations and warned US policy will follow American interests, not Israeli aims.
Vice President JD Vance drew a sharper line between Washington and Jerusalem on Iran, saying the United States would pursue its own objective of blocking an Iranian nuclear weapon even if Israel disagreed. In a Fox News interview Monday, Vance said the two allies share many interests but also diverge on some issues, as strains have surfaced between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He argued diplomacy has created room for a longer-term settlement and said Iran is putting "real things" on the table. His comments came after reports that US intelligence raised concerns about Israeli surveillance of American officials involved in the talks.
