JD Vance on Rogan: Israeli-First Lobbyists Smear Iran Deal

In a wide-ranging appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized what he described as “Israeli-first” lobbyists and interest groups for allegedly smearing potential diplomatic efforts toward an Iran nuclear deal, framing their opposition as prioritizing foreign interests over American ones. Vance argued that such influence has distorted U.S. foreign policy debates, exposing deeper tensions within conservative circles about lobbying power, neoconservative hawkishness, and the push for restraint in Middle East entanglements.
