Iran Urges Trump To Rethink ‘Maximum Pressure’ As Nuclear Standoff Escalates

Iran has urged US President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider his “maximum pressure” policy, which Tehran blames for heightened nuclear tensions and regional instability. Iranian Vice President Mohammad Javad Zarif stressed the need for a policy shift, calling Trump’s previous strategy a failure.

Fallout from the Nuclear Deal Collapse

In 2018, the US unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal, prompting Iran to roll back its commitments. Since then, uranium enrichment has surged to 60%, a significant increase from the 3.5% under the agreement. Despite accusations, Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons.

The Soleimani Factor

Tensions worsened in January 2020 when Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian military commander. His death intensified hostilities and fueled conflict between Iran and Israel.

Trump Signals Openness

While Trump recently stated he doesn’t aim to harm Iran, his stance remains firm: Iran must not develop nuclear weapons. He hinted at a willingness to see Iran thrive under the right conditions.

Regional Instability Looms

The call for a policy review comes amid escalating conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon. Tehran and Israel have exchanged direct attacks, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
