- Vance asserted that President Donald Trump is Israel's only sympathetic head of state and cautioned against attacking their sole powerful ally, highlighting that two-thirds of Israel's defensive weapons are U.S.-built and funded.
- The warning came after far-right Israeli cabinet members criticized the 14-paragraph memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.
- The peace deal aims to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, provide significant sanctions relief, and up to $300 billion in investments for Iran's reconstruction, in exchange for Iran's pledge not to procure or develop nuclear weapons.
