In a surprise move, JD Vance, the Republican Senator from Ohio, has publicly defended US President Donald Trump against criticism from Israel's government over his efforts to revive the Iran nuclear deal. Vance's comments come as tensions between the US and Israel continue to escalate, with Israeli officials expressing concern that the deal would compromise their country's national security. The Iran deal has been a contentious issue in the US for years, with Trump previously withdrawing from the agreement in 2018. Vance's stance has sparked debate within the Republican Party, with some questioning his alignment with Israel and its government on this key issue.
