Trump’s national security adviser’s exaggeration about Iran – Mehr News Agency | RCO News Agency

According to Mehr news agency, quoted by Bloomberg, Mike Waltz, the national security advisor of the second administration of Donald Trump, the president-elect of the United States, announced the return of the policy of “maximum pressure” against Iran.

Waltz said in a conversation with Fox News: After Trump takes office on January 20, you will see big changes in policies related to Iran.

He claimed: We must limit their oil (exports). The priority is, we must return to the policy of maximum pressure; A policy that worked in Trump’s first administration!

Waltz’s statements and claims come at a time when those around Trump and his options for key positions in the new American government, who generally have a hostile approach against Tehran, unanimously claim that Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, has relented in imposing sanctions on Iran!

In the first term of his presidency, by unilaterally and illegally withdrawing from the Joint Action Plan (JCPOA), Trump intended to put pressure on Tehran through the policy of maximum pressure.

These statements are while the failed policy of maximum pressure against Iran could never achieve the goals of America and Trump.

However, Trump has given contradictory signals about his position towards Tehran. One day after winning the 2024 US presidential election, without mentioning Iran’s “peaceful” nuclear program, he claimed that as long as Tehran does not seek nuclear weapons, he wants a new agreement with this country!

At that time, he claimed that “we do not intend to harm Iran, but they cannot have nuclear weapons”!
