Dan Driscoll was a close ally of Vice President JD Vance but clashed with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Vance is seen as standing on the ‘isolationist’ wing of the Republican Party and has accused Israel of “manipulating” US public opinion to keep the Iran war going. Hegseth is one of the war’s strongest defenders
A senior Iranian official said Tehran privately told Vance the pair were exploiting the negotiations for financial gain. The Trump administration says it never happened.
After Netanyahu’s most vocal cheerleader called him a ‘scumbag’ over the Iran deal, JD Vance correctly observed that Israel’s right wing would ‘want this to go on until every Iranian is dead.’ It’s time for the U.S. to reckon with Israel’s recklessness.
