Iran secretly warned JD Vance that Kushner and Witkoff were sabotaging Iran talks for profit
Iran told the Trump team its own negotiators may have been working against a deal — potentially bad for peace talks, and another corruption cloud over Trump's inner circle.
- Iran sent a secret message to JD Vance saying Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff cared more about using inside knowledge to make money in the markets than reaching a deal.
- Iran claims Trump's wider circle made billions off market moves tied to the war and diplomacy, then reportedly demanded a cut — so no moral high ground on either side.
- Kushner and Witkoff showed up with no nuclear experts, then Witkoff went on Fox and said Iran was building bombs right after Iran offered a big concession, leaving Iran confused about their real goal.
- A third worry: Kushner and Witkoff were talking almost daily with Netanyahu and Israel's Mossad chief, raising doubts about whose side they were on.
Outlook: Expect more scrutiny of Trump-linked market bets and fresh doubt over whether the Iran framework can turn into a lasting deal.
