Breaking Report: JD Vance in Fiery Call with Netanyahu—Rips Him for Selling Trump the ‘Easy’ Iran War Lie. Here’s What He Allegedly Said
Vice President JD Vance reportedly had a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of overselling the ease of regime change in Iran to President Trump.
According to sources who spoke with Axios, Vance told Netanyahu that many of the optimistic predictions Bibi had pushed before the war simply hadn’t come true. Despite the high-profile killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hardline factions have actually tightened their grip on power, and the Iranian regime remains firmly in control.
“Before the war, Bibi really sold it to the President as being easy, as regime change being a lot likelier than it was. And the VP was clear-eyed about some of those statements,” one source said.
Vance, who had advised Trump against rushing into war with Iran, was later tasked by the President with helping lead negotiations to end the conflict. He has been deeply involved in diplomacy, meeting with senior Emirati officials and the Prime Minister of Qatar this week to push for a resolution and provide support to Gulf allies.
A day after the call, a right-wing Israeli outlet owned by GOP donor Miriam Adelson published a story claiming Vance had yelled at Netanyahu over settler violence in the West Bank. White House officials quickly dismissed the report as false and suggested it may have been planted to smear Vance. An Israeli official denied that Netanyahu’s office was behind it and said they issued a full denial when asked.
Trump himself extended the pause on striking Iranian energy infrastructure by another 10 days on Thursday, writing on Truth Social that talks are “going very well” despite public posturing from Tehran.
The 15-point U.S. plan, modeled after Trump’s Gaza approach, demands that Iran dismantle its nuclear and long-range missile programs, open the Strait of Hormuz, and abandon its proxy terror groups. Iran has so far rejected the proposal and countered with its own list of demands, including the closure of all U.S. bases in the Gulf, reparations, and an end to Israeli strikes on Hezbollah.
This Vance-Netanyahu call highlights growing tension behind the scenes. While Trump continues to apply pressure through military strength and targeted diplomacy, some in Israel appear frustrated that regime change has not happened as quickly as they had hoped or promised.
The situation remains fluid. Vance’s willingness to push back on Netanyahu shows the administration is not blindly following any foreign leader’s timeline — they are focused on America’s interests and a realistic path to ending the conflict.
