Israel and Parscale Reject Claim Campaign Targeted Iran Talks
Published
Israel’s Foreign Ministry and former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale rejected claims that an Israeli-funded digital campaign tried to derail U.S. diplomacy with Iran. The ministry said it lawfully hired an experienced agency to combat hatred against Jews and Israel, strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance and operate transparently under American law, without intervening in U.S. policy. Parscale, whose firm receives $1.5 million a month under disclosed filings, said he neither attacked the administration nor opposed its Iran proposal. Vice President JD Vance said the campaign paid American influencers who targeted him and sought to sink the negotiations.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on the campaign’s purpose and activity: Vance says Israeli-funded work paid influencers who attacked him and tried to derail Iran negotiations; the Foreign Ministry and Parscale say the disclosed campaign combats antisemitism, complies with U.S. law and did not oppose the administration or its Iran proposal. The remaining facts are uniform: Israel retained Parscale’s Clock Tower X for a U.S. communications campaign at $1.5 million per month.
