🔶 JD Vance: Iran’s leaders are really, truly crazy

JD Vance, the deputy U.S. president, said in an interview with Fox News on the evening of Monday, the 9th of Shahrivar, that one of the lessons taken from the war with Iran is that the leaders of this country are “really, really crazy” and are willing to take extreme actions far from strategic thinking to disrupt the flow of oil and gas in the Persian Gulf.

In response to the question of whether six months ago, at the start of the war in February (last year’s Esfand), he thought the war with Iran would unfold this way, he pointed to new U.S. attacks on Sunday night against Larak Island and said these attacks were carried out in response to actions by Iran aimed at preparing to mine the Strait of Hormuz. Vance added: “We are now at a stage where a substantial portion of our activity in the region is focused on ensuring freedom of navigation and trade through the Strait of Hormuz.”

The U.S. deputy president, asked by a Fox News reporter what lesson he had learned from the war with Iran, described the leaders of the Islamic Republic as “really, really crazy.”
