Vice President Vance Discusses the Iranian Peace Talks, 13 April 2026

… God spared his life.

President Trump has repeatedly stated how Jesus Christ is not only Lord but his personal Lord and Savior.

I can confidently say that President Trump does not remotely think he is Jesus, but President Trump knows that he needs God’s blessing and favor to accomplish the mission of Making America Great Again.

… American hegemony and Israeli occupation, and this presentation maps comfortably onto familiar Western anticolonial frameworks.

What it does not map onto is the lived experience of Arab populations in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and across the Gulf. In those countries, Iran's presence meant Hezbollah holding the Lebanese state hostage to Tehran's decisions, thirty-five armed factions in Iraq drawing salaries from Iranian funds channeled through the Iraqi national treasury, and Houthi commanders answering to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while firing on Arab civilians from Yemeni soil. Freedom is not the word any serious Arab observer would use for what Iran brought.

Indeed, the Arab world's quarrel with Iran runs far deeper than American bases or Israeli airstrikes. What drives it is the systematic subversion of Arab sovereignty by a foreign power that uses the language of Islamic solidarity as cover for an imperial project conducted through proxies.

The second dimension is the proxy question itself, where Western analysis fails most comprehensively. Iran goes far beyond supporting armed groups. Parallel state structures get built inside Arab countries, financial systems get captured, and political figures get installed who owe their existence and survival entirely to Tehran.

The Iranians who have administered this project understand it as the export of a revolution, but what Arab populations have experienced is closer to a colonial occupation conducted through intermediaries, and as of now, they’re not mourning the Islamic Republic.

When Westerners treat these proxy networks as instruments of legitimate resistance rather than as mechanisms of subjugation, they endorse an imperial project while believing themselves to be opposing one, and as a matter of fact, make themselves the legitimizing force behind Iran’s war against the Arab world.

The third dimension is the most counterintuitive for a Western audience, and it is the one most consequential for how the current war is understood and misunderstood. For Arab nationalists, including secular nationalists and even those with deep reservations about Israeli policy, Iran represents a greater and more immediate threat than Israel does.

This is a position that Western media are structurally ill-equipped to render intelligible, because Western discourse on the Middle East has been organized for decades around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the primary axis of regional injustice.

The result is that when Western governments and Western publics take strong positions against Israel’s actions against Iran’s operations, they believe themselves to be standing with the Arab world. In reality, they are advancing a position that the Arab world does not share and has not asked for, while ignoring the threat that Arab governments and Arab populations actually live with. The rhetorical use of Israel as a perpetual alibi for Iranian aggression has been one of the Islamic Republic’s most durable tools, and Western opinion has served as the unwitting amplifier of that tool across the entire duration of the Islamic Republic’s existence.

… whistleblower forms, the revisions, and the dates for all of it, and I conclusively proved all of it.

All hell broke loose after I published my report, with Deep State assets and their media lickspittles accusing me of lying, of fabrication, and of botching the facts.

I was 100% right, and they all knew it. How do we know this? Because the IG himself admitted under oath in testimony for Congress. And his staff, despite the fact of his testimony, lied about it for years, knowing that the proof of their conspiracy would be hidden within his classified testimony.

For nearly 7 years I waited for the transcript of that testimony to be released. Today, that finally happened, and that testimony fully vindicates my original reporting and full discredits everyone who falsely claimed it was inaccurate—including the staff of the IG who deliberately peddled lies about what they did, and how I caught them red-handed.

Here’s what he secretly admitted under oath: “When it came to my attention from one of the media inquiries that we had a form that required individuals to have firsthand information before they could file a complaint, I did two things.”

“I said, first of all, is that what our form says? And then the second thing once they told me, yeah, that’s what our form says, we need to change that,” Atkinson testified.

“So the timing is unfortunate. It looks suspicious, I get that,” he said. “What I should have done was I should have explained when we changed the form why we were changing it.”

“I should have been more transparent about the reasons and the motivations for the change in the forms,” he said.

The IC IG gutted its own internal rules, eliminated its longstanding requirement of first-hand whistleblower knowledge, did so because of the anti-Trump complaint, fraudulently backdated its changes, and did it all in secret, EXACTLY as I reported in 2019. And the admission by the IG himself that my reporting was accurately was HIDDEN from public view until today.

Thankfully I kept the receipts of every fraudulent, throne-sniffing Deep State crony and publication which cast aspersions on my credibility and that of my reporting.
