There is no need to defend Trump or Vance in order to see their point. It is nearly impossible to believe that a dedicated cabal of American neocons and Israeli blowhards managed to convince the world that the main threat to its "security" was a nuclear Iran. 

This is a narrative based on gaslighting, itself rooted in a good ol' college try to live out the fantasy of capitalist and colonialist supremacy - it is always the fault of the brown (preferably poor and religious) man that those who had wielded power for centuries can no longer reap thw fruits of their innate privilege. This began with, and still is, about Palestine, the final Alamo of this campaign. Iran was never the main issue. 

This makes it all the more ridiculous that an entire "first" world would be allowed to hold the specter of "Iran" above the rest of the world. There is no need to defend the Islamic Republic in order to see this. The leap from the countless horrors of an illegal occupation to a "battle of civilizations" is evidence of moral bankruptcy. 

Trump and Vance are outliers in this Capitalist world. Vance is a Johnny-come-lately only too happy to sell his soul for power. Trump has always been just on rhe right side of imbecilic (later, demented) to be tolerated. Their understanding of reality is crass and brutish. It is precisely for this reason that they seem to be the only ones telling the truth right now. They lie openly for self-interest. No aspect of this self-interest is served by taking Israel on so brazenly. 

With their limited capacity for truth and their limitless vanity, they adopt principled positions only when they would be personally compromised otherwise. Israel had duped them (according to highly qualifies reports, this was standard Israeli MO) into an "operation" in Iran with promises of quick glory. Vance, in fact, remained highly suspicious throughout. When Israel's promises blew up in his face, Trump tried his damndest to hold the fort. He could not stave off a most severe global energy crisis. He then decided, in typical Trump fashion, that it was truth time.

Whatever happens now, it is crucial to bear this in mind (if not tatoo it on one's chest, "Memento" style) - Trump and Vance are telling the truth. Israel and its lackeys are lying. This has been demonstrated in countless ways. This is the time to side with truth.
