Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Javad Zarif urged Donald Trump, following his recent election win in the US, to rethink the ‘maximum pressure’ strategy he adopted during his first term. Zarif, the architect of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal, highlighted the need for Trump to weigh the pros and cons of his past policies, especially in light of recent regional conflicts. He expressed hope that Trump’s return to the White House would lead to a reevaluation of previous mistakes, a sentiment echoed by Iranian officials amidst ongoing tensions linked to the Gaza conflict.
