Trump vows 'total victory' over iran within weeks as Netanyahu confirms ceasefire

June 9 Pinned Vance admits US, Israel interests can 'diverge' on Iran, signals differences with Netanyahu Vance / Vice President JD Vance said Monday that while the United States and Israel share interests, Washington's approach to Tehran will be guided by what President Donald Trump thinks is best for the U.S. Vance's remarks come amid reported tensions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over missile strikes on Iran and with the Israeli leader favoring a more hard-line approach. "The Israelis and the United States, we have a lot of shared interests," Vance told Jesse Watters. "But we also have some situations where our interests diverge, and I think where the president has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the United States' main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon," he added. "Over the last year and a half, we've created the space necessary where the president believes — and I think he's right — that we can get a long-term settlement to Iran's nuclear issue," Vance said. "Now, Israel may like that, they may not like that, but fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America," he said, adding that Washington will continue pursuing that goal because "that's what the president of the United States was elected to do."
