Ari Fleischer, former White House spokesman in the George Bush administration, responded to J. Dee Vance on the role of the Iran war in defeating the Republicans in the mid-term elections and said: "The problem was not the Iran war; the problem was the ceasefire." On Wednesday, November 4, Fleischer wrote on the X social network that starting a war requires victory and ending it, and the American operation after the attack on Iran should not have stopped until the fall of the Islamic Republic. According to him, the war should have ended six months ago with the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the establishment of oil flow. Fleischer also demanded the removal of the second and third-ranking officials of the Iranian government and the support of the United States for pro-Western forces to seize power. He added that Washington lost the opportunity to create a more peaceful Middle East, prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and keep the Islamic Republic at bay. Fleischer called the ceasefire the cause of the uncertainty about the end of the war or its renewal, and called the increase in prices and the continued presence of American forces in the region as the results of this situation. He emphasized to Vance: "The problem is not the war; the problem is the so-called cease-fire."
