"Any weakening of Iran represents a direct threat to Armenia because Iran was a guarantor of security for southern Armenia, just as Armenia represents an exit and transit route to the north for Iran," according to The Armenian Mirror-Spectator, one of the media mouthpieces of the Armenian diaspora in the United States.

"Armenia was recently scolded by President Trump who asked them to provide justifications for the continuation of Armenian trade with Iran, a country under US sanctions, de facto extraterritorial... Armenia submits to the American diktat, loses control of part of its strategic territory and (temporarily?) breaks its centuries-old friendship with Iran. The ‘America First’ policy and Israel’s influence prevail without surprise," the newspaper adds.
