Iran asked the former president on Saturday Donald Trump to “change” the policy of “maximum pressure” towards Islamic Republic which he applied during his first term.
“Trump must demonstrate that he does not follow the wrong policies from the past,” he told the press Mohammed Javad ZarifIranian vice president in charge of strategic affairs.

But the minister of Foreign Relations Iranian called the accusations “completely unfounded.”
“Since there is no murderer in reality, they invited the scriptwriters to invent a comedy in bad taste,” said the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abás AraqchiSaturday on the X network.
Zarif, former Foreign Minister, was the Iranian architect of the nuclear agreement signed in 2015 between Tehran and the international community, including the United States.

However, three years later, the pact was torpedoed when Trump, then president, withdrew his country from the agreement and imposed severe sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” policy against Iran.
Trump’s first term was also marked by his January 2020 decision to order the elimination in Iraq of the powerful general Qassem Soleimaniarchitect of Iran’s regional influence strategy.
Trump’s victory comes at a delicate time for Iran. Both the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas like the Shiite Hezbollah movement, both at war against Israel in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon respectively, have the financial and military support of the Islamic Republic.
