Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. and Israel share key interests but also have growing differences, particularly over strategy toward Iran.

He emphasized that U.S. policy is focused on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, even if Israel has different priorities.

His comments come amid reported tensions between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including disputes over military actions and intelligence concerns.

Vance also noted that U.S.-Iran negotiations are ongoing and suggested there is cautious optimism about reaching a deal, though verification would be essential, Fox News has reported.

He stressed that any agreement must include strong inspections and align with American national interests, despite skepticism about Iran’s intentions.
