Why are they attacking JD Vance?

The signing of the 14‑point "memorandum of understanding" between the US and Iran has also stirred the Neocons, who had been hiding in the shadows for some time. One of them is Douglas Feith, who played a significant role in the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq on fabricated grounds. Feith served as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy during the George W. Bush administration.

In his June 18 article published in the Washington Post, Feith harshly criticized US Vice President J.D. Vance for his role in signing the memorandum with Iran. John Podhoretz, a card‑carrying Neocon, has been accusing Trump of cowardice on his broadcasts, claiming that Trump is afraid to launch a ground operation against Iran.

The target of the Zionists in Israel and the US, and the Neocons, is now "JD Vance." The pro‑Israel hawks and Zionists, who dare not attack Trump directly, have turned their arrows toward JD Vance. Both the Zionists in Israel and those in America are keeping US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth out of the debate.

According to some commentators, Rubio's disappearance from the scene during the signing of the memorandum is because he wants to step forward if the agreement fails. Other commentators believe that wearing down JD Vance would clear the way for Rubio, who aspires to be the presidential nominee in 2028. Senator Ted Cruz, an extreme pro‑Israel figure, instead of staying silent like Rubio, is openly criticizing Trump to put himself in the spotlight.

In his statements, Cruz has emphasized that Trump is receiving "bad advice" on the Iran agreement. Even if Cruz does not say it explicitly, he implies that this advice is coming from Vance. Donald Trump Jr., however, announced in a post on his "X" account on Wednesday that Cruz is "lying through his teeth" about the memorandum text. The younger Trump pointed out that Cruz is trying to weaken his father with fake news.

By virtue of being Vice President, Vance is the strongest candidate for the presidency in 2028. Rubio comes second behind Vance. Cruz, meanwhile, does not yet occupy a notable position in the rankings. Both Rubio and Cruz are among the most trusted names of the Israel Lobby.

The efforts of circles linked to the Israel Lobby to polish Rubio have not gone unnoticed. One reason the Zionists are attacking Vance as a team is to block his candidacy in 2028. Unlike Rubio and Cruz, the Lobby and the Zionists do not see Vance as a "safe" name for Israel. The fact that Vance is listening to the decline in support for Israel among the American public and Republicans under 50 is considered enough for him to be in the Lobby's crosshairs.

The Israel Lobby trusts and makes hefty donations to names whose loyalty to Israel is complete. Many politicians, whether Republican or Democrat, openly state that their legislative duty is to ensure that US administrations and the US Congress remain "pro‑Israel" at all costs.

Batya Ungar‑Sargon, a host on NewsNation who belongs to the "Israel First" wing of the Trumpist camp, commented on Thursday: "Vice President JD Vance forced the US to its knees with a humiliating agreement just weeks before our 250th anniversary, and now he dares to blame Israel for the terrible situation we are in. We are watching our Vice President turn into Tucker Carlson in real time."

Batya Ungar‑Sargon is taking shots at Vance through Tucker Carlson, who was the fiercest opponent of the Iran war in the Trumpist camp and fell out with Trump because of it. Sharply criticizing Vance's criticism of Israel, Ungar‑Sargon issued a warning: "If this was a dress rehearsal for Vance's 2028 campaign, then we have certainly learned a lot."

The staunchly pro‑Israel commentators on Fox News, a channel that supports Trump, are increasingly intensifying their criticism of Vance. So much so that Brian Kilmeade and Marc Thiessen from Fox News have branded the memorandum signed with Iran as "JD Vance's Agreement."

The Zionists note that JD Vance's statements aimed at restraining Israel are the harshest remarks ever made against Israel from the highest levels of a US administration. In Zionist publications, threats are also made that politicians who openly criticize Israel or try to weaken the "US‑Israel Special Relationship" do not end well. In short, the debates over the Iran agreement are growing increasingly fierce and ugly.
