The blog explores the complex relationship between Iran and former U.S. President Donald Trump. It outlines the historical context of U.S.–Iran relations, focusing on Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and reimpose harsh sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign. The post covers key events that escalated tensions—like oil tanker attacks, the downing of a U.S. drone, and the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. It also discusses the domestic and international reactions to Trump’s policies, the economic impact on Iran, and how the administration’s actions influenced global diplomacy and regional stability. The blog concludes by reflecting on Trump’s legacy and how his approach continues to shape U.S.–Iran relations today.
