Look who is talking about a Zionist plot against him.

JD Vance accuses Israel of secret plot against him

JD Vance has claimed he is the target of an Israeli-funded propaganda campaign over his Iran peace push, and that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the 'highest levels' of Mossad. The vice president made the explosive allegations during a nearly three-hour sit-down with podcaster Joe Rogan. Vance pointed to a Time magazine report he said proved American influencers were being paid to attack the Iran deal. The report notes that money has flowed through a former Trump campaign operative and is bankrolled by elements of the Israeli government.

...

Think about it. There is no way Vance has his own foreign policy.
He is the "hard cop" to Trump's "soft cop"?

Only now and then.

AIPAC spreads the money around to whoever.

AIPAC isn't "The Jews" or even Israel. It's a bunch of Jewish businessmen who are pro Israel (in their fashion) but not always pro government of Israel. These days, they like Bibi.

That said, we know that AIPAC went all in opposing the JCPOA as did Netanyahu. I doubt Vance or any Republican felt that was wrong.

What Vance ignores is that the vast majority in this country want a peace deal in Iran.

This should make Trump question if he should be the lead negotiator on Iran. In addition, this could make Iran question his ability to represent the President. After these comments, there could be questions on whether what he negotiates will be signed off on by Trump.

I suspect that Vance intends to run for President. He knows the Iran war with all its consequences is very unpopular. He faces a quandary. In the Republican primaries, Trump policies will be unpopular, while he might still be kingmaker. My guess is he is betting on the policies remaining unpopular and Trump losing his power. As VP, Trump cannot fire him. I doubt he considers that he may be far to unlikable to win.
