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. President Joe Biden and his Administration, while keeping all sanctions on Iran in place, haven’t monitored strictly the compliance of the sanctions as they were keen to keep oil flowing amidst crises elsewhere such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now Trump could have a personal issue with Iran and is likely to seek a maximum pressure policy, which could stifle Iranian oil exports that had just hit a six-year high earlier this year. 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, A major drop in Iranian oil exports, if the U.S. ratchets up the sanctions, could lead to higher oil prices, other things being equal, analysts say. NB: Bullshit!! the Saudis will rush in a New York minute to fill in the gap!!
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.”

FBI foils Iranian murder-for-hire plot against Trump
United States Department of Justice unsealed federal charges in connection with a foiled Iranian scheme aimed at assassinating President-elect Donald Trump prior to this week’s presidential election, the Associated Press said on Friday. The criminal complaint, submitted in Manhattan’s federal court, claims that an unidentified member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps provided instructions to an associate in September to devise a strategy for monitoring and eventually assassinating Trump. According to the complaint, if Farjad Shakeri, the man identified in the report, could not devise a strategy by November 5, Iran would halt its plans until after the presidential election. This decision was based on the official’s belief that Trump would likely lose, making it more feasible to target him afterward. NB: This is an act of WAR!!
