:h 'diffopt'. You can use "-c 'set diffopt+=iwhite'" to specify this
option at the command-line, but it may be too late. Specifying it in the
vimrc will not, but it is not convenient, thus you may want to use
something like
if !empty('$VIMDIFFOPT')
let &diffopt=$VIMDIFFOPT
endif
that enables taking this option from environment variable VIMDIFFOPT.
In case -c is too late, you can use instead
vimdiff --cmd "set diffopt+=iwhite" file1 file2
which will add the "iwhite" entry to the 'diffopt' option before
processing your vimrc. The difference between -c and --cmd is the
difference between "late" and "early" customization.

You're welcome. For details, see
:help 'diffopt'
:help -c
:help --cmd
