The Armenian Mirror-Spectator: Future enforcement of Section 907 against Azerbaijan is a key indicator for US-Iran relations

"Trump’s past withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal stemmed from his lack of involvement in its creation and his perception of it as detrimental to US interests. Interestingly, the future of Section 907 enforcement is a key indicator. US security assistance to Azerbaijan, consistently framed as a countermeasure against Iran, implies continued support and signals potential action against Iran under the Trump administration. The US president’s annual waiver of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act of 1992, an ongoing practice since 2002, stems from the absence of a definitive US strategy regarding Iran," writes The Armenian Mirror-Spectator, one of the media mouthpieces of the Armenian diaspora in the United States.

A policy paper by the BESA think tank, which provided recommendations to the Trump administration on forming a trilateral alliance between Azerbaijan, Israel, and the U.S., noted: "For the U.S. and Israel to fully leverage Azerbaijan’s advantages and opportunities within the new “Greater Middle East” architecture being shaped by the Trump administration, it is essential to eliminate the existing formal obstacles. Section 907 must be repealed."
