An Analysis of Trump’s Threat-Based Policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran

By adminPosted on April 10, 2025Posted in Foreign Policy, Publications, Recent Analysis, Weekly Analysis PDFNo Comments

In May 2018, President Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and called for renegotiation, urging the Islamic Republic of Iran to engage in a new agreement with Washington. Since then, Trump has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran should it refuse to comply. In 2019, Trump fully prepared for a strike on Iran but ultimately refrained. At present, the threat of military action appears primarily aimed at instilling fear among Iranian officials to pressure them into negotiations on U.S. terms.
