Certain people within Israel hate deal between Washington, Tehran: Vance

ISLAMABAD: US Vice President JD Vance said that there were certain people within the Israeli government who hated the deal between Washington and Tehran.

While speaking at a podcast, the US vice president said that there were “certain influencers in America who are being paid in order to attack the deal.”

“I definitely think you have seen this very discreet extremely well-funded campaign to try to derail the negotiation and try to derail the deal,” Vance said. 

While citing an article in The Times, the US vice president said that there were a bunch of people who had been paid by “a former Trump campaign person who was himself paid by certain elements within the Israeli government.” 

“Those people are attacking me viciously for quite literally trying to accomplish the negotiation objective that the president set for the country,” he said.

“They're attacking me obsessively saying that we should not be negotiating with Iran. We should just keep the military campaign going indefinitely,” he said. 

“What I'm actually trying to do is accomplish what the president United States told me to accomplish,” he added.
