The puppet government of Armenia simply does not realize that the war between the USA and Israel against Iran cannot end with the latter’s defeat. No matter how long this war lasts and no matter how much destruction and deprivation it brings to Iran and its people, in the end, the USA and Israel will come out of this war defeated. And that’s when Pashinyan and his team will be held accountable for the US-Israeli-Azerbaijani-Turkish Turanakan or Zangezur corridor project, TRIPP (“Trump Road”).։
I have already repeatedly and thoroughly referred to the balance of forces, economic consequences and military perspectives of this conflict. Therefore, today I will draw attention to another, no less important aspect of it. It refers to the fact that in the USA there is serious resistance to the war against Iran not only within the framework of society and the opposition Democratic Party, but also at the highest level of state power.
The most significant representative of the “anti-war” wing of the Trump administration is Vice President JD Vance. In an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan on July 15, 2026, Vance made a series of controversial statements regarding Israel, Iran, and foreign influence on American politics. Here are some of them.
“I have absolutely no doubt that there were people within the Israeli government who tried to divert us from that policy because they wanted to continue the military campaign.”
“There are people within their system who are manipulating American public opinion and trying to change it so that the war goes on endlessly, not to achieve any goal, but simply endlessly.”
“They attack me like a maniac, claiming that we should not negotiate with Iran, but simply continue the military campaign indefinitely.”
“When I open Time magazine and see literally an entire foreign influence campaign being funded to undermine the very consensus I was working to achieve…my response is one thing. “Go to the writer’s lap.” I will do what is necessary for the American people. First of all, I represent the interests of Americans.”
“What worries me is that the American leadership is allowing this foreign influence to influence its judgments and the policies it advocates.”
“States do what states usually do… But your displeasure should be directed against American leaders who allow this to influence their decisions.”
All those who today despise the vital interests of Armenia and Iran should think seriously about these words. Basically, it is about the struggle of two opposing approaches within the US government. one bets on endless military escalation, and the other on political-diplomatic settlement. This circumstance is extremely important to understand how vulnerable and unstable Washington’s current policy towards Iran is.
Unfortunately, teaching the puppets and puppets has failed.
