US to continue seeking deal with Iran regardless of Israel's stance: Vance

The United States will continue to seek a deal with Iran, including on the nuclear program, regardless of Israel's position on the issue, said Vice President JD Vance. In an interview with Fox News, Vance stated, "We can get the long-term settlement to Iran's nuclear deal. Now, Israel may like that, they may not like that, but fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America." He added, "So, we're going to keep on pursuing it, because that's what the present United States was elected to do." The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran over the nuclear issue, with Israel opposing any deal that does not fully dismantle Iran's nuclear program. According to Mehr News, Vance's comments signal the US administration's commitment to diplomacy despite differing views from its ally Israel.
