From Fox News: President Donald Trump’s decision to restore his maximum pressure campaign on the Islamic Republic of Iran jolted the clerical regime in Tehran and established a clean break with the Biden administration’s concessionary policy toward the rogue nation, according to Mideast experts.
Trump also warned the regime on Tuesday that if it carries out his assassination, advisers will ensure that the country is “obliterated.”
Trump’s message to the Iranians seemingly got their attention. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that “If the main issue is ensuring that Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, this is achievable and not a difficult matter.” He also added that “maximum pressure is a failed experiment, and trying it again will only lead to another failure.” He did not respond Trump’s sanction order targeting Iranian oil exports and Tehran’s support for jihadi terrorist organizations.
Iran’s FM commented on Iran’s opinion regarding Trump’s remarks: “Maximum pressure is a failed experiment, and retrying it will lead to another failure. If the main issue is that Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, then Iran’s policy is clear, and an agreement can be reached.” pic.twitter.com/dOFHgDXPhg

In a post on Truth Social Tuesday morning, President Trump wrote, “I want Iran to be a great and successful Country, but one that cannot have a Nuclear Weapon. Reports that the United States, working in conjunction with Israel, is going to blow Iran into smithereens,” ARE GREATLY EXAGGERATED. I would much prefer a Verified Nuclear Peace Agreement, which will let Iran peacefully grow and prosper. We should start working on it immediately, and have a big Middle East Celebration when it is signed and completed. God Bless the Middle East!”
