Donald Trump plans to reimpose the 'maximum pressure' policy on Iran, focusing on limiting Iranian oil exports and further isolating Tehran.
Donald Trump plans to renew the so-called ‘ maximum pressure ’ campaign against Iran , to further isolate Tehran and hamper its ability to support its proxies in the Middle East , The Wall Street Journal reported, quoting sources briefed on the president-elect’s early plans. During his first term in office, Trump tore up the so-called Iran nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action JCPOA, and re-imposed sanctions on Iran ’s oil industry and exports.
Trump now knows that a man with ties with Iran plotted to assassinate him earlier this year, in retaliation for the U.S. drone strike in 2020 which killed Iranian military general and hardliner Qassem Soleimani. Commenting on Trump’s policy in the second term, Mick Mulroy, a top Pentagon official for the Middle East during Trump’s first-term administration, told the Journal, “If he’s going to be hawkish on any particular country, designated major adversaries, it’s Iran.
