One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has broken with the President over his war with Iran, warning the conflict risks spiraling into nuclear catastrophe. Sacks, a close ally of Vice President JD Vance, made the remarks on the All-In podcast, cautioning there are 'risks' of an 'escalatory approach' by Israel. Sacks urged Trump to find an 'off-ramp' and bring the war with Iran to a swift close. Vance privately warned against the Iran war, urging Trump that if action were taken, he should 'go big and go fast,' according to reports. Iran's UN ambassador ​says ⁠more than 1,300 people have been killed in Iran in US and Israeli attacks.
