While our society is focused on pre-election internal political issues, a global geopolitical storm is taking place in our own region, which will significantly change the world order and will have a fatal impact on Armenia’s security and future.

The American-Israeli war against Iran can already be considered a failure, at least in terms of the implementation of the initial plans.

♦ Iran has taken control of the Strait of Hormuz, which is tantamount to establishing control over the world economy without exaggeration.

♦ Destroyed 70 percent of US military bases in the Middle East, all important radars worth billions, a strategic AWACS system aircraft worth 700 million dollars.

♦ The United States and Israel are facing acute shortages of strategic weapons and ammunition.

It has become clear that American ground operations or the opening of the Strait of Hormuz will demand a very heavy price for which the Trump administration is simply not ready.

It can be predicted that in the most likely scenarios of the development of the military situation, the prospects for the implementation of TRIPP approach zero.

This puts a lot of pressure on Nikol Pashinyan, whose claims about “bringing peace” to Armenia were largely based on promises to implement the TRIPP program itself.

It is no coincidence that Pashinyan has again started blackmailing his own people with the prospect of a “disastrous war” coming in September, falling into a trap and trying to rebuild bridges with Moscow.

The problem, however, is that the policy of “falling into the trap” is a consequence of not understanding geopolitical processes and only brings harm to Armenia, whose leadership is very late in understanding foreign political processes, putting our people in front of a new disaster every time.
