Vance alleges Israeli influence campaigns ‘manipulating’ American opinion on Iran war.
The VP warned of a ‘very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign’ by Israeli actors who want to see the war extended ‘not towards any objective, but just indefinitely’.
Vice President JD Vance told podcaster Joe Rogan on Wednesday that he is worried American politicians are being swayed by Israeli “influence campaigns.”.
In the three-hour interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Vance warned of a “very discreet, extremely well-funded campaign” to derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.
“What does bother me is when those operations, those influence campaigns, actually affect American political judgment, because they shouldn’t.
Because we should be thinking, What is in the best interest of the United States of America?”.
The interview comes after a series of recent statements in which Vance has criticized Israel’s handling of the Iran war. »
