Based on reports surrounding the high-stakes US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, in April 2026, there are claims that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intervened during the talks. See: Iran Blames Netanyahu’s Shock Call To Vance Behind Failed Iran-U.S. Peace Talks In Pakistan

• The Claim: Reports indicate that Iranian officials claimed a phone call from Benjamin Netanyahu to U.S. Vice President JD Vance occurred during the 21-hour marathon negotiations.
• The Alleged Intervention: Social media posts and reports suggested this “shock call” to Vance interrupted the proceedings, with claims that it shifted the focus away from the US-Iran negotiations toward Israeli interests.
• Context: These talks, aimed at securing a deal to end fighting, collapsed without an agreement. Vice President Vance confirmed on April 12, 2026, that no deal was reached, citing Iran’s refusal to accept U.S. terms regarding its nuclear program.

Reports during this period also highlighted that Netanyahu and Vance had prior tense discussions, with Vance having criticized Netanyahu’s optimism regarding “regime change” in Iran. See: US Vice President Vance Critiques Netanyahu’s Iran Plans, Says He Was ‘Too Optimistic’
