АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп Иран улстай хийж буй зэвсэгт мөргөлдөөнийг дахин эхлүүлсний дараа тус улсын улс төрийн хүрээнийхний дунд ширүүн маргаан өрнөж эхэллээ.
Пүрэв гарагт CNN телевизийн нэвтрүүлгийн үеэр Бүгд найрамдах намаас нэр дэвшигчдийн баг Ираны эсрэг явуулж буй бодлогын талаар мэтгэлцсэн байна. Тус намын улс төрийн шинжээч Скотт Женнингс Иран улс АНУ-тай сүүлийн 47 жилийн турш дайны байдалд байгаа гэж мэдэгдсэнийг Трампын засаг захиргааны ажилтан асан Кэролайн Саншайн эсэргүүцэв. Саншайн энэхүү хугацааг бодит баримттай нийцэхгүй хэмээн үзэж, цэргийн ажиллагаа явуулахыг шүүмжилсэн байр суурь илэрхийлжээ.
Женнингс хариуд нь Ираны дэглэм барууны орнуудын эсрэг олон арван жилийн турш алан хядах ажиллагаа явуулж, олон мянган америк цэрэг, иргэний аминд хүрсэн гэж мэдэгдсэн байна. Тэрээр АНУ-ын “Foundation for Defense of Democracies” байгууллагын 1979 оноос хойшхи хугацаанд Иран болон түүнийг дэмжигч бүлэглэлүүдийн үйлдсэн халдлагуудын жагсаалтад үндэслэн энэхүү байр сууриа хамгаалжээ.
Үүнээс гадна, АНУ болон Ираны хооронд байгуулсан дайныг зогсоох тухай харилцан ойлголцлын санамж бичиг (MOU) амжилтгүй болсон асуудлаар Саншайн байр сууриа илэрхийлэв. Тэрээр дэд ерөнхийлөгч Ж.Д.Вэнс нь энэхүү бүтэлгүйтлийн “буруутан” болон үлдэх эрсдэлд орсон гэж үзэж байгаагаа илэрхийлж, тухайн үед Төрийн нарийн бичгийн дарга Марко Рубио идэвхгүй байсныг онцолсон байна.

A fiery MAGA squabble erupted Thursday night on CNN as two Republican pundits bickered over President Donald Trump’s recently restarted Iran war — with one snarking, “I’m sorry you don’t read much.”
The clash started when former Trump aide Caroline Sunshine questioned an assertion by CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings that Iran has “been at war with us for 47 years.”
“I’m sorry, the first time I’ve heard about the 47-year Iran war was like this year,” said Sunshine, who’s publicly opposed U.S. military action against Iran since last year.

Jennings interrupted and laughingly said: “I’m sorry you don’t read much. Did you just start following the news this year?”
Sunshine, a former Disney Channel teen star, then said, “We don’t teach about the 47-year war with Iran in school,” according to Mediaite.
“Like, it’s insulting to actual conflicts that we’ve been involved in,” she said.
Jennings then turned Sunshine’s words against her, saying, “It’s insulting? It’s insulting to your intelligence that you have no idea what the Iranians have done.”

The two continued sparring, with Sunshine asking, “How many Americans have they killed on U.S. soil in the 47 years we’ve been in the war with Iran?”
“They’ve killed thousands of Americans, they have maimed American soldiers and they have been at war with the West ever since this regime came to power,” Jennings answered.

Jennings’ response appears to be based on a timeline compiled by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies that catalogs attacks on Americans by Iran and its proxies.
The list notes that the 9/11 Commission concluded that Iran didn’t know about the attacks before they took place but found “strong evidence” that it had facilitated travel by some of the al Qaeda hijackers.

The White House circulated a version of the timeline shortly after Trump launched his war against Iran, but didn’t include the portion about September 11.
Also during Thursday’s edition of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, Sunshine suggested that Vice President JD Vance was set up to take the blame for the failed memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran to end the war, according to The Hill.
“I think we know now why JD Vance was sent out to go sell the MOU, and at the time, (Secretary of State) Marco Rubio was nowhere to be found,” she said. “He was nowhere to be found, because as we’ve now seen, Vance, I think, was set up to be, you know, the fall guy for this.”
