The American VP does not want the Israelis dragging Washington into another conflict, the agency has cited sources as saying<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Vice President J.D. Vance does not support his country\u2019s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran, Reuters has reported, citing two informed sources.<\/p>\n

A Reuters article revealing his stance came out on Saturday, hours before US President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran\u2019s Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan nuclear sites.<\/p>\n

According to the sources, Vance made his opinion clear during a \u201ctense\u201d<\/em> phone call between Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other top officials from Washington and West Jerusalem on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu and his associates used the exchange to try to persuade the US president to give up on the two-week deadline that he had given to Tehran to reach a deal on the country\u2019s nuclear program and immediately take part in the Israeli attacks on Iran, the report read.<\/p>\n

The Israelis argued that there is only a limited window of opportunity to use the American bunker-busting bombs against Iran\u2019s deeply-buried Fordow facility, it said.<\/p>\n

During the call, the Iraq War veteran \u201cpushed back\u201d<\/em> against West Jerusalem\u2019s demands, insisting that Washington \u201cshould not be directly involved\u201d<\/em> in the conflict, the sources claimed.<\/p>\n

His concern was that \u201cthe Israelis were going to drag the country into war,\u201d<\/em> they added.<\/p>\n

Vance appeared beside Trump when the president delivered a televised address from the White House, in which he announced the US strike and claimed that the Iranian nuclear sites have been \u201ccompletely and totally obliterated.\u201d<\/em> Tehran claimed that the attacks did not deliver any serious damage.<\/p>\n

Social media users later shared screenshots of the vice president from the event, describing his facial expression as \u201cconfused\u201d<\/em> and \u201cnot happy at all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Later on Sunday, Vance gave an interview to NBC News \u2018Meet the Press,\u2019 saying that \u201cwe do not want war with Iran. We actually want peace, but we want peace in the context of them not having a nuclear weapons program.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

If Tehran refrains from targeting US troops in the Middle East in retaliation and gives up on their \u201cnuclear weapons program once and for all, then I think, the president has been very clear, we can have a good relationship with the Iranians. We can have a peaceful situation in that region of the world,\u201d<\/em> he argued.<\/p>\n

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday that the US does not have the ability to escape \u201cheavy responses\u201d<\/em> by Tehran for its \u201cillegal military attack on the peaceful nuclear facilities\u201d<\/em> in Iran. The IRGC claimed that it has already identified the locations where the planes that took part in the strikes are stationed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
