Donald Trump, the President of the United States, criticized President Joe Biden's policy towards the Islamic Republic on Monday, February 20, stating that during his first term, the Iranian government was bankrupt and had no money to give to Hamas and Hezbollah. Speaking among his supporters at a celebration held at the Capital One Arena in Washington, he added that anyone who deals and trades with the Islamic Republic is not allowed to work with the United States. During his first term from January 2017 to January 2021, Trump implemented a maximum pressure policy against the Islamic Republic and is expected to pursue this policy during his second four-year term as well. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that while the Islamic Republic of Iran faces a severe economic crisis domestically and setbacks in the Middle East in 2024, the new year will also be a difficult year for it, as it will confront the new government of Donald Trump. According to this reputable American newspaper, published on January 6, the new United States government under Donald Trump plans to increase sanctions against the Islamic Republic as part of its aggressive efforts to curb the Iranian government's support for militia groups in the Middle East. The report also stated that Trump's team is considering options, including airstrikes, to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing nuclear weapons before his official inauguration on February 20. Meanwhile, Prince Reza Pahlavi congratulated Trump on Monday, stating in a letter that the Islamic Republic, which has become 'weaker than ever,' will attempt to preserve itself through deception, making empty promises, and manipulating under the guise of a new deal. The organization 'United Against a Nuclear Iran' has also proposed a plan to Trump's team called the '100-day plan,' which outlines a roadmap to limit the Islamic Republic through diplomatic, intelligence, military, and economic measures. Semaphore: The Biden team shared the Islamic Republic's conspiracies with Trump's team. Prince Reza Pahlavi urged Trump not to trust the Islamic Republic. Trump's criticism in the presence of Biden: We have a government that cannot manage a simple crisis. Trump: The golden age of America begins now.
