Israelis accuse White House officials of leaking Iran plan to Turkey

Israeli sources have blamed officials inside the White House for leaking details of an Israeli plan involving Iran to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The report said some Israeli sources pointed to US Vice President JD Vance, who has raised doubts about the 2026 war with Iran, suggesting the leak helped Erdogan reach President Donald Trump in time to stop the operation before Israel could launch it.

Vance’s team rejected the claim.

"This report is categorically false, and we would have told the outlet as much if they had bothered to reach out for comment," Luke Schroeder, Vance’s special assistant and press secretary, said.
