PNN – The new American president repeated his anti-Iranian stances yesterday after the inauguration ceremony, while the new policy of his government towards Iran has not yet been determined. And these rhetorics of Trump against Iran can be the basis for the continuation of his past hostile approach in the new American administration. We have to wait for the announcement of the next government’s macro policies in Washington, which is supposed to be announced in February.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Donald Trump said in repeated words when he met with the families of Hamas captives and signed the executive orders: (When my first presidential term ended) Iran was bankrupt and any country that bought oil from it could not do any business with America.
He claimed: China and all other countries abandoned the deal with Iran and Iran went bankrupt. Iran didn’t have money for Hamas and Hezbollah and (if I was in office) October 7 (Operation Storm Al-Aqsa) would not have happened.
Trump said: Iran is rich now, and of course it is weakened in another way. That Israeli attack and the explosion of the pagers really set them back. The attack on their air defense was also heavy.

By looking and relying on the analysis of the first term of Trump’s presidency, which started from the very first days with the order to unilaterally withdraw from the JCPOA treaty and continued with strong anti-Iranian policies and the start of the maximum pressure campaign, we can expect the model of Donald Trump’s political action in the new term. The presidency of the White House does not change compared to the first round. This mental perception has been formed by the harsh words and hostile positions of the new American president and people close to him, such as the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mark Waltz, during the election campaigns and after.
Waltz recently claimed about the position of the US president-elect towards Iran and the possibility of his support for the possible option of an attack by the Zionist regime on Iran’s nuclear facilities, which requires the country’s weapons and support and said: Iran is in a defensive position due to the management of Netanyahu and the Israelis.
Referring to the Zionist regime’s attacks on Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, he claimed: The time has come to make a decision about Iran. We will make this decision within the next month.
Previously, the Bloomberg Economic Network website, quoting knowledgeable sources, claimed that there is a general consensus among Trump’s key advisers to revive the full maximum pressure strategy against Iran. This strategy will start in February with a large sanctions package and target the main players in Iran’s oil industry.
