Donald Trump Reimposes “Maximum Pressure” Sanctions On Iran While Calling For New Nuclear Deal

The MAGA Strip overshadowed the news about Trump’s plans for Syria and Iran.

Times of Israel:

“US President Donald Trump on Tuesday restored his “maximum pressure” campaign on Iran that includes efforts to drive its oil exports down to zero in order to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

The move brings back the tough US policy on Iran that Trump practiced throughout his first term. Trump has accused his Democratic predecessor, former president Joe Biden, of weakening US resolve toward Iran. …”

New York Times:

“President Trump on Wednesday vowed to negotiate a “verified nuclear peace agreement” with Iran, saying he wants to avoid a military clash by reaching a deal that prevents Tehran from acquiring an atomic weapon.

Mr. Trump, who withdrew from the 2015 nuclear accord that Iran negotiated with the Obama administration, effectively called for a do-over on Wednesday. In an early morning post on his social media site, the president said the United States and Iran “should start working on it immediately, and have a big Middle East Celebration when it is signed and completed.”

“I want Iran to be a great and successful Country, but one that cannot have a Nuclear Weapon,” Mr. Trump wrote. …”

Trump himself shot down the idea that he wants a “war with Iran” and said this morning that he wants to negotiate a new nuclear deal. This confirms the Axios reporting from a week or so ago.
