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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
