US Vice President JD Vance says some in Israeli government sought to sway US on Iran deal
Vance said the campaign used paid online attacks and lobbying to undermine a ceasefire he helped negotiate, with the Wall Street Journal reporting a $45 million contract.
- On Wednesday, Drop Site News reported that Iranian negotiators sent a private message to Vice President JD Vance in June, warning that Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were "exploiting the negotiations for financial gain."
- Iranian negotiators communicated to Vance that they believed Witkoff and Kushner were "abusing" the diplomatic process, prioritizing "exploiting insider knowledge of the negotiations to profit in financial markets" over reaching a peace deal.
- The Iranian official estimated that individuals with inside information raked in $9 billion in profits from market moves related to the war, conveying that $4.5 billion should be "allocated to the Iranian side."
- House spokesperson Anna Kelly disputed the report, stating "no such message was ever transmitted to the United States" and condemning Drop Site News reporters as "full-throated propagandists for the Iranian regime."
- Scrutiny regarding conflicts of interest persists, highlighting a $500 million investment in World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency firm co-founded by Witkoff, from a firm controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon of the United Arab Emirates.
