US Vice President JD Vance said Tuesday that the emerging peace deal between Washington and Tehran was a “home run for the American people,” whether or not Israel liked it.

The comments came as US President Donald Trump predicted a deal was two or three days away, and denied Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had defied him by responding to Iran’s renewed missile attacks on Israel on Sunday night.

In an interview with Fox News, Vance acknowledged that the US and Israel “have a lot of shared interests, but we also have some situations where our interests diverge.”

“I think where the president has been very clear here is that while Israel obviously has some objectives that it has, the United States’ main objective in Iran is to ensure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon,” Vance said.

He claimed that since Trump returned to power, the White House has “created the space” for a nuclear deal that would be superior to the one reached in 2015 by then-US president Barack Obama.

“Over the last year and a half, we’ve created the space necessary where the president believes – and I think that he’s right – that we can get the long-term settlement to Iran’s nuclear deal,” he said.

“Now, Israel may like that, they may not like that,” Vance added. “But fundamentally, we think this is in the best interest of the United States of America.”
