The article, by Lt. Col. (res.) Amit Yagur, argues that the Republican loss in the US midterm elections is not due to the war in Iran, but rather to the cost of living and inflation. The author defines the Iranian narrative, according to which the American voter punished the White House for involvement in the Middle East, as a 'classic consciousness campaign' and false. He notes that the Republicans lost 30 seats, a figure consistent with the historical average, and that in-depth polls show that domestic issues such as the economy, cost of living, and housing are the most important issues for Americans. The author criticizes Vice President Vance, who adopted the Iranian narrative and thereby, in his words, weakened President Trump's position. He argues that oil prices and inflation rose even before the war, due to a chokehold on domestic production, and that Iranian propaganda presents a false picture as if restraint would have kept prices low. The article concludes with a call to stop echoing Iranian propaganda and to present facts against the narrative.
