Mike Pence, the former vice president of the United States of America, in an interview with the program "Meet the Press", on Sunday, November 15, rejects the opinion that the war with Iran is the reason for the defeat in the mid-term elections of the USA, said that the suspension of military operations against the Islamic Republic after five weeks and the turn to the policy of reconciliation is one of the reasons for the decrease in the vote.
In this interview, Pence said, contrary to the position of J. Dee Vance, Vice President of the United States, "We didn't lose the mid-term elections because of the war."
"I think part of the reason the voters were disappointed was that after we saw our military perform brilliantly in Operation Epic Rage and the invasion of Iran last year, for some inexplicable reason, we stopped after five weeks," he added.
Referring to the military achievements of this operation, the former Vice President of the United States said: "We sank their fleet, we had absolute air superiority, and we destroyed 15,000 military centers in Iran."
