Donald Trump will return to the White House by attending the inauguration ceremony in Washington in a few hours. He will be the first U.S. president since the 1980s to serve two non-consecutive terms. The inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump, which will be broadcast live on television in the U.S. and many other countries, will be held indoors at the Capitol with around six hundred attendees due to the cold weather. However, about 250,000 people will witness the ceremony outside the Capitol after purchasing tickets. Donald Trump begins his second term as president while having previously promised to adopt a tough policy against the Islamic Republic. During his previous presidency, he put the Iranian government in a difficult situation through unprecedented actions. Perhaps his most significant action was the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC and one of Ali Khamenei's closest allies. The image of the Islamic Republic's leader crying and mourning during the prayer over Soleimani's body has been widely circulated among Iranian users. On Sunday, January 30, Donald Trump spoke to his supporters in a sports hall in Washington, the capital of the U.S., announcing the achievements of his team before the official start of his presidency and stated that he would achieve even more in the next four years. He referred to his victory in the last November presidential election, the return of TikTok's activities, the ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages held by Hamas, and his team's efforts to reach an agreement. He reiterated that during his first term, the Iranian government was 'completely bankrupt, had no money for Hamas and Hezbollah, and was unable to take any action.' Donald Trump promised the American people that he would act 'with historic speed and power' and resolve each of America's crises. He concluded his remarks by stating that we are a great nation and will achieve great victories again, making America great once more. According to Stephen Miller, Trump's senior advisor, on Monday, the first day of his presidency, Donald Trump will issue an executive order 'to end border invasion, return illegal immigrants to their homes, and take back America.' In recent weeks, Donald Trump has surprised foreign allies with statements about acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal and turning Canada into one of the U.S. states. According to Mike Waltz, the new Trump administration's national security advisor, his first executive actions upon entering the White House will focus on immigration, energy, and policies related to promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion. Promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion are among the issues that Democrats especially focused on, but were unable to turn the recent presidential election results in their favor. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that while the Islamic Republic faces severe economic crises domestically and setbacks in the Middle East in 2024, the new year will also be a tough year for it as it confronts the new Trump administration. According to this reputable American newspaper, published on January 6, Trump's team is also considering options, including airstrikes, to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing nuclear weapons before the start of his second term on February 1 (January 20). For the first time in U.S. history, foreign leaders will attend the presidential inauguration. Trump's victory celebration was held a day before the inauguration in Washington. Snow and polar cold have put 70 million people in the U.S. under storm warnings. TikTok has expressed gratitude to Trump: we will resume services to American users.
