Some of the unconventional actions taken by Trump in the past, including the assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, were due to his lack of experience for president and his limited understanding of international issues. However, with time, he has grown older and become one of the oldest US presidents, gaining more experience and mellowing out with age. Unconsciously, these factors will impact his decisions, and overall, I believe he has become more “benign” than before.
Everyone knows that Trump himself pulled out of the JCPOA. Unfortunately, Iran’s partners to the deal have not been reliable or committed and Iran cannot bank on their promises. They have not honored their commitments so Iran cannot put stock in their promises.
The negotiations have been stuck in a rut and the broken promises under the JCPAO have rendered the issue stale and lifeless. It seems that the enthusiasm for this topic has waned. However, Iran still seeks to engage with the world and is not looking for adventure, but any agreement, including the nuclear deal, should be reviewed and negotiated in light of new developments and changes. After all, governments have changed, and issues have evolved since then.
In my opinion, Iran’s situation regarding negotiations is improving, as the West has tried every trick in the book and imposed every possible sanction on Iran. The West and Trump have come to realize Iran’s capacity and strength, and they know that Iran carries significant weight in regional geopolitics. It would be better to resolve issues through negotiations. Moreover, the world has lost its appetite for new tensions and conflicts, and they too are seeking to reach an agreement.
