Vance's efforts for months to convince Trump to end the conflict with Iran were unsuccessful. The Axios news site reported, citing sources, that J. Dee Vance, the vice president of the United States, advised the president of this country, Donald Trump, to reach an agreement to end the conflict with Iran in recent months, but Trump decided not to rush in this regard. According to Axios sources, Vance also tried to convince him in private conversations with Trump that "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not necessarily right" on all issues related to Iran. He also warned that this conflict could cost the Republicans an election victory. According to the report, although Trump ultimately decided to postpone the attacks, he supported Netanyahu during the Israeli elections last week, against the advice of his top advisers.
