US Elections and Iran's Political Strategy

The U.S. elections are two weeks away

and it must pressure Trump more

and with the greatest force it can muster, so it is applying pressure

It is now counting on time, betting on Trump's defeat

in the elections. The scenario Iran is pursuing

is not new, it is a scenario prepared

in advance. Therefore, the United States

is an open book to Iran, and Iran knows the levers

of political activity in the United States.

It is betting on Trump's defeat in the coming days.

It is trying to pressure him so that the price of a

gallon of diesel reaches six dollars, and therefore

Tehran knows where the pressure points are that can

hurt Trump. And over the past few days, Trump

Over the past four or five days, we have seen some restraint from him,

meaning Trump these days is not the Trump he was

before. He is trying to weigh every word

that comes from him. He is also trying to court

voters. He knows there are domestic pressures

from the American voter. He knows that

the balance of power is not in his favor or

that of the Republican Party, so all these matters

are political and strategic motives putting pressure on the

American president, and they will continue to do so. I believe, indeed I am certain,

that Iran in the coming days will raise

the stakes of its maneuvering, whether through pressure,

by targeting ships,

or by escalating tensions in the region, whether in

the Strait of Hormuz or elsewhere.

But Mr. Salem said a little while ago that it does not gain anything from

that.

And it has nothing to lose.

What about the suffering, Doctor?

As for the Iranian people, perhaps Dr.

Hassan can speak on this matter. This people have been

under siege for more than seven.

No, sanctions were imposed on it, not a siege. This time, the matter is different.

Therefore, it can adapt to everything

happening on the ground.

Therefore, from my point of view, Iran,

the Iranian people, and even the Iranian regime do not.
