Iran sees Donald Trump’s presidential win as a chance for the U.S. to reconsider what it calls “misguided policies” from past administrations.
-During his first term, Trump pursued a “maximum pressure” strategy against Iran, straining relations between the two countries.
-Before Trump’s victory was confirmed, Iranian officials stated that U.S. elections were irrelevant to Iran’s plans, which are set regardless of who is president.
-In Trump’s first term, he withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, leading to increased sanctions on Iran.
-Trump’s administration conducted a 2020 airstrike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, escalating tensions further.
