US Expert: Trump Blames Vance for Iran Policy Failure, Shifts to Economic Sanctions
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
US President Donald Trump is reportedly blaming Vice President JD Vance for the Republican midterm election defeat and shifting focus to economic pressure on Iran, according to US affairs expert Dr. Kobi Barda. Vance's standing appears to have diminished following Trump's instructions to stop dealing with Iran and reports that Trump views him as responsible for halting military action. The expert suggests Trump will now pursue a two-year economic siege of Tehran, moving away from military strikes. This shift comes after a significant Republican loss in the midterms, which Barda described as "of biblical proportions."
