Former Trump aide Mike Pence has ‘inevitable’ advice for Trump over Iran, and it’s not diplomacy

WASHINGTON, DC: The months long war between the US and Iran has experienced intervals of ceasefire but there is now little sign of a truce deal after the 60-day ceasefire plan expired without any concrete solution.

Now former Vice President of the United States and Trump’s aide Mike Pence has a advice for the president to solve the longstanding Iran problem and that is continuing strikes.

Pence says US must prepare for most strikes on Iran

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday, August 23, urged the federal administration to prepare for strikes against Iran, arguing that strikes are “inevitable.”

“It’s going to be absolutely imperative that we keep the pressure on, and that we keep the military assets in the region to be able to take the action that I believe is going to be inevitable,” Pence told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Pence on Sunday equated the measures taken by the administration to “D-Day style economic sanctions,” echoing Trump’s rhetoric on Wednesday, the president argued the sanctions “will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY” for Iran.

Pence also said the Iranians “don’t yet understand that they have been defeated,” citing Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s victory remarks this weekend on ending the war.

“We are not going to bow our heads,” Pezeshkian said. “We are not going to come humiliated before the enemy. We can stand with power but with logic, and solve our problems.”

Based on that rhetoric, Pence argued the “time’s going to come” for the US and Israel to “finish the job” in Iran.

“You don’t make peace with your enemy,” he told Bash. “You make peace with your defeated enemy.”

Iranian President calls out radicals in own country

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for the war to end during a speech at the General Assembly of the Islamic Association of the Medical Society of Iran on Friday, August 21.

"It is better to end the war today, when we are in power and dignity, and the whole world acknowledges our victory and emphasizes that America, contrary to all regulations, attacked our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure, and is hated in the world," Pezeshkian said, according to a translation of a text copy of his speech posted to an Iranian state media website.

Pezeshkian apparently acknowledged that hardliners in his own country are playing a role in the continued war, calling them people “sitting outside the circle” who “have not experienced any suffering or hardship.”

“In the meantime, some people are sitting outside the circle; because they do not know the state of the government, the state of the parliament, and the state of the commanders, they make comments and analysis, even though they have not experienced any suffering or hardship, and then they talk about the cost,” the Iranian president said.
