Newsmax: A stable Azerbaijan is vital for the U.S.

"In recent years, Armenia's government has been pursuing a pragmatic and pro-American foreign policy while the Armenian lobby has not. This lobby consists of two main diaspora organizations: The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) and the Armenian Assembly of America (AAA). They both remain committed to preserving Section 907’s restrictions. Maintaining Section 907 at this point does little to serve Armenia's long‑term interests. Repealing it could help Armenia and Azerbaijan put their long conflict behind them," according to Newsmax, a U.S. media outlet closely aligned with the Republican Party.

"The Armenian lobby is hostile to Israel because Israeli weapons were decisive in Azerbaijan’s victories in 2020 and 2023. The same Israeli drones and missiles that helped Azerbaijan win the conflict with Armenia are even more crucial for deterring Iran. Harop and Harpy drones can blind Iranian air defenses, Spike missiles can halt IRGC armor, and the LORA ballistic missiles can strike deep inside Iran's northern provinces. These are exactly the capabilities Baku needs to stay out of the Iranian sphere of influence," Newsmax added.

"For the United States, a stable Azerbaijan is vital. It provides a secure supply route for Western goods, energy, and logistics. Weakening the Israel-Azerbaijan relationship only helps Iran," the news outlet emphasized.
