US Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration will prioritize American interests when dealing with Iran, even if this does not always please Israel
In an interview with Jesse Watters’ program on Fox News, Vance acknowledged that the two countries share many goals, but admitted that, in some points, their priorities diverge.
According to him, the main objective of the United States is to prevent Iran from being able to manufacture a nuclear weapon.
Vance explained that over the past 18 months, the necessary conditions have been created to reach a lasting agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
“Israel may like it or not, but we believe this is best for the United States,” he declared.
He reinforced that President Trump was elected to defend American interests and that the government will continue in that direction.
On the same day, President Donald Trump stated that, in about two weeks, the United States will declare “total victory” over Iran.
During an event in support of Senator Lindsey Graham, Trump said that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and that oil prices will fall after this victory.
A few days ago, he had commented that negotiations with Tehran were progressing well and that an agreement could be signed soon.
Trump also wants Iran’s enriched uranium transferred into US hands.
On the Iranian side, however, a senior military advisor to Iran’s supreme leader said that talks with the Americans are at a standstill and that the ball is in Trump’s court to break the tie.
The text shows that, although the United States and Israel are close allies, Washington intends to follow its own path to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue in a way that benefits, above all, American security and interests.
