While White House officials continue to invoke the slogan “America First” amid a chain of global crises, they are seeking to project a revival of unilateral American power in a bid to consolidate their authority for years to come and even pave the way for transforming the country’s political system from a republic into what critics describe as a “Trump monarchy.” Yet available evidence points to both overt and covert initiatives whose ultimate objective, according to critics, is the destruction of US independence and the entrenchment of the Zionist regime’s dominance over the country. Recent moves by Congress and the administration to reshape the framework of military cooperation with and support for the regime provide a clear illustration of this reality, a development that serves as a serious warning to regional and international actors who still cling to the illusion of US protection and immunity from the Zionist regime’s aggression while placing their hopes in the path of compromise.
Accelerating Service to Zionism Amid Global Turbulence
Against the backdrop of war-mongering, unlawful conduct, hegemonic policies, and crisis-generating actions attributed to Trump across the globe, the international system has entered an increasingly volatile and uncertain phase, with its security, political, and economic repercussions expanding by the day. At the same time, efforts to serve the interests of the Zionist regime within the American power structure have gathered momentum.
At a time when ending wars, curbing what critics describe as Trump’s self-serving expenditures, addressing scandals such as the Epstein case, and tackling the economic hardships imposed on ordinary Americans have become key public demands, Congress and the White House, according to opponents, continue to disregard public opinion and prioritize objectives aligned with Zionist interests.
In this context, Congress is moving toward an unprecedented integration of American and Israeli military forces through a sweeping new legislative proposal. The online journalism platform Responsible Statecraft, published by the Washington-based Quincy Institute, reported that a plan to merge American and Israeli military arsenals has been incorporated into the House version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act released in recent days.
According to the report, Section 224 of the legislation is dedicated to a proposal titled the “United States–Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative,” which states that Washington has provided Israel with approximately $200 billion in military assistance since 1948 when adjusted for inflation.
The platform further reported that “Section 224 of the US National Defense Authorization Act creates a framework for bilateral research and development, joint weapons production, shared investments, licensing agreements, and virtually every form of cooperation between the American and Israeli military-industrial complexes.”
This congressional initiative, coupled with Trump’s approval of Pentagon contracts for arms shipments to the Zionist regime, demonstrates, according to critics, that the American political establishment, whether Republican or Democrat, has become so dependent on the Zionist lobby that, despite mounting domestic and international crises, it continues to place the regime’s interests at the top of its agenda.
The timing of this approach, coinciding with congressional midterm elections, has once again raised questions about the independence and integrity of elections in the United States and the extent to which public votes shape policy, while shedding further light on the influence of lobbying networks and systemic corruption. Growing public distrust of Trump and polling data indicating that 74 percent of Americans believe Congress is plagued by widespread corruption are cited as evidence of this deepening crisis.
Cracks Emerging in Zionist Narrative Among Americans
Despite extensive efforts by the US governing establishment to advance Zionist interests, opinion polls and the actions of some political figures suggest meaningful shifts in public attitudes. A significant segment of American society has come to view the United States as effectively being held hostage by the Zionist regime, a regime that, in their view, has brought little but military, economic, and reputational costs.
The expansion of anti-Zionist protests across American universities and academic institutions, along with opposition from roughly 70 percent of the public to military confrontation with Iran, are cited as signs of this changing outlook.
Political opposition to allocating American resources to the Zionist regime is also growing. Joe Kent, the US counterterrorism chief, for instance, reportedly stated in his resignation letter that Iran posed no threat to the United States and that Trump had entered the war solely because of Israel.
The heavy costs imposed on the United States by the Zionist regime have gradually eroded the influence and standing it has enjoyed within the American political system over past decades. This trend represents a serious challenge for a regime whose illegitimate existence, critics argue, has endured through its dependence on the United States much like a parasite relying on its host.
In light of these realities, it can be argued that the Zionist regime, by circumventing existing frameworks and shifting from annual aid packages of $3.8 billion to participation in the production of military equipment and technologies, is attempting to mislead public opinion while ensuring continued access to American taxpayers’ money to finance future military operations and occupation policies. At the same time, this process deepens the regime’s influence over American institutions.
Engineering Dependence: A New Strategy for Capturing American System
Although the congressional proposal appears on the surface to be merely a new mechanism for military support to the Zionist regime, its implementation, including the establishment of joint factories, technology centers, and production facilities, could not only weaken effective oversight of US-Israeli military cooperation and place it increasingly under the influence of Zionist interests, but also expand the reach of the Zionist lobby among lawmakers and senators across different states.
Because of its job-creation potential, the initiative could further increase American politicians’ dependence on Zionist influence networks.
One example cited by critics of this strategy of structural dependency is the suspicious pattern of assassinations targeting American scientists, the number of which has reportedly reached 11 within a short period. These killings are said to resemble Mossad operational methods and involve specialists connected to sectors and technologies in which the Zionist regime seeks greater influence.
This perception has been reinforced by recent claims that Vice President Vance provides daily performance reports to Tel Aviv, an allegation that critics view as evidence that the Zionist regime is effectively shaping policy for a nation of more than 300 million people.
A Strategic Message for Supporters of Compromise and the Abraham Accords
The deepening structural dependence of the United States on the Zionist regime can be viewed as a harsh reality for advocates of accommodation and initiatives such as the Abraham Accords. The trend suggests that, for a significant segment of the American power structure, the principle of “Israel First” has superseded all other considerations, including the interests of more than 300 million American citizens, and that those who embrace compromise will ultimately find themselves accommodating the regime’s dominance.
These developments once again underscore the argument that the only path toward lasting security in West Asia lies in ending the US military presence and forging a unified front against the Zionist regime.
Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran, through its military and diplomatic steadfastness, pursuit of its legitimate rights, expansion of the concept of security across the region, and strategic management of the Strait of Hormuz, has taken significant steps toward achieving these objectives. Greater alignment by other regional countries with this approach could further strengthen their role in establishing a sustainable, indigenous-centered regional security framework.
