Some senior Israeli officials wey talk anonymously say the deal's terms bad for Israel because dem no take care concerns about Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programme. Dem say this view dey shared across Israel leadership.

When dem ask am if e think say US for don engage for the recent war with Iran if no be because of Israeli influence, Vance say, "yes, yes I do."

"I think say the president, aside from any influence from Israel, believe strongly, and I agree, that Iran no suppose get nuclear weapon," Vance tok.

No doubt for that. I think na basic fact.'
