- How did Biden's approach differ from Trump's, and what were the results?
- Biden's approach eased sanctions, hoping for negotiations to curb Iran's nuclear program. However, this led to Iran gaining tens of billions of dollars and accelerating its nuclear capabilities, making little progress.
- What is Trump's proposed strategy for dealing with Iran in a second term?
- Trump's proposed approach involves renewing 'maximum pressure' through sanctions enforcement and international pressure. He also suggests supporting the Iranian people with internet access and funding for opposition groups.
- How could recent Israeli military actions impact Trump's proposed strategy?
- The article suggests that Israel's recent strikes on Iranian targets have weakened Iran's air defenses, potentially making further military action more feasible. This could strengthen the credibility of US threats to prevent Iran's nuclear development.
- What was the main approach Trump used to pressure Iran during his first term?
- Trump's previous policy of 'maximum pressure' on Iran involved significant sanctions, which negatively impacted Iran's economy. This pressure, combined with military actions like the Soleimani drone strike, weakened the Iranian regime.
- What are the potential dangers or opportunities related to nuclear negotiations with Iran?
- Khamenei's regime might attempt to de-escalate through nuclear negotiations, a tactic that failed under Biden. Trump should refuse negotiations unless Iran halts enrichment, dismantles its nuclear program, and ends support for terrorism.
