June 18 — US Vice President Vance accused Israeli officials of showing "strange
panic" and "hysteria" over a US-Iran memorandum of understanding, saying Israel
lacks trust in the United States. Israeli politicians across parties, including
some Netanyahu allies, have criticized the MoU for failing to resolve Israel's
concerns about Iran's nuclear and ballistic-missile programs and for restricting
Israel's freedom to act against Hezbollah. Vance rejected claims the MoU is a
"bad deal," saying that characterization is false and noting the memorandum does
not guarantee benefits to Iran absent changes in Iranian behavior.
