JD Vance on Israel:

It's a country of 9 million people. We have 330 million people. And so, of course, they're going to try to persuade Americans.

They're going to try to move Americans in one direction or another.

I think the Israelis are definitely more effective at it than most.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 JD Vance: Israel spent a fortune trying to blow up our Iran negotiations and smear anyone pursuing a deal.

“When I open up the pages of Time magazine and see that there’s a literal foreign influence campaign being funded to tank the very deal that I was pursuing, and many of the people receiving that money were attacking me in completely dishonest ways, my response is:

GO TO HELL!!”

JD Vance exposes Israel:

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there have been people within the Israeli government who are trying to actually shift us away from that policy because they want to continue the military campaign.

There are some people within their system, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, who are manipulating and trying to change American public opinion to keep the war going on indefinitely.

Again, not towards any objective, but just indefinitely.

BREAKING: Iran's top joint military command officially releases a statement closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Full statement:

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

🚨 President Donald J. Trump on cancelled scheduled strikes against Iran.

[Quincy Institute @QuincyInst]

Is something is shifting between Washington and Tel Aviv?

The White House says the US did not provide missile defense for Israel in its latest exchange of fire with Iran. That's a first. It suggests Trump may finally be putting his foot down with Netanyahu.

That matters because US-Iran talks are at a critical moment. If Trump can show he can actually rein in Israel, Iran has reason to believe a deal is possible.

The next 72 hours will tell us whether that window stays open -- or whether Netanyahu moves to slam it shut. @tparsi in @RStatecraft

BREAKING: President Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will have "no choice" but to accept a US deal with Iran, because he "calls the shots," per FT.

Details include:

1. "I call the shots. I call all the shots. He [Netanyahu] doesn’t call the shots," Trump said

2. Trump said today's missile strikes by Iran will not impact the deal

3. Trump said he believes "the deal is going on"

4. Trump said that Iran’s strikes had not changed his desire to conclude US-Iran negotiations
