JERUSALEM (VINnews) — No foreign powers are poised to support Iran’s current regime, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren said in a television interview.

“This is such a heinous regime,” Oren told NewsNation anchor Elizabeth Vargas on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.” He added, “No one’s coming to Iran’s aid.”

Oren, a historian and former Knesset member who served as ambassador from 2009 to 2013, made the comments amid heightened scrutiny of Iran’s government following its conflicts with Israel, proxy setbacks and internal challenges.

The remarks reflect a view that Iran has become increasingly isolated internationally, with its regional allies weakened and major powers reluctant to provide backing.

Oren has frequently critiqued Iran’s leadership in past writings and interviews, arguing that years of Western policy have failed to curb its aggression and nuclear ambitions.
