Vice President JD Vance has issued a stark warning to Israel, urging the country not to challenge the Trump administration's diplomatic efforts with Iran.
The intervention highlights the intensifying pressure on Tel Aviv to align with Washington's strategy as the framework for a new peace agreement moves toward execution.
The remarks arrive at a pivotal moment for the US-Iran negotiations, which have concluded weeks of talks with a tentative framework.
The administration views the deal as a cornerstone of its broader Middle East strategy, and Vance's comments signal that internal friction with a key ally could jeopardize the fragile progress.
The administration is actively working to prevent any unilateral military action that might derail the diplomatic track.
This development follows recent reports that President Donald Trump has privately asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating against Iran following a recent missile attack.
