## Key points

- Vance reportedly criticised Netanyahu’s approach to the Iran war.
- He is pressing Trump to seek a negotiated settlement.
- The dispute may shape Vance’s distance from Trump ahead of 2028.

## Summary

Vice President JD Vance reportedly told colleagues that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “wrong on everything” about the Iran war. The reported disagreement highlights divisions within the Trump administration over whether to keep fighting or negotiate, and gives Vance room to distance himself from an unpopular policy as speculation grows about his 2028 presidential plans.

Vance publicly blamed the war for Republicans losing control of both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections and has urged President Donald Trump to pursue a negotiated settlement. About six in 10 voters said US military action against Iran was the wrong decision, according to the AP Voter Poll. Vance has also pursued talks through Qatari intermediaries, with a proposal that negotiations address Iran’s nuclear programme; Netanyahu had urged Trump to resume strikes, but Trump held off.
