Jam-e-Jam: Trump’s second admin is more anti-Iran

Jam-e-Jam wrote after Trump’s victory in the American presidential election, some people analyzed that his second administration would be different from his first one. It seems such interpretations mainly originate from “destructive optimism” about Trump’s policies in the new era. The fact is that the second administration of Donald Trump is fundamentally different from his first administration. These differences are in line with the future American government’s extremist approach, especially in dealing with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Therefore, it is not true to think that Trump’s policies towards Iran are supposed to be more realistic and based on interaction. There were no normal conditions to take steps toward an agreement or serious negotiations even during the rule of the Democrats, let alone when the new Trump administration that its picks for national security team are radical and anti-Iran.
