Newly elected US President Donald Trump has once again taken a tough stand on Iran. He said in clear terms that Iran will not be allowed to get nuclear weapons at any cost. Trump made this statement at a time when tension in the Middle East is at its peak. At the same time, he announced that the US would gradually recall its troops from the Middle East, which would reduce American military presence in the region.
Trump said in his statement, “Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. This is a big threat to global security. We will take strict steps in this matter.” He also indicated that his government could increase strict sanctions and diplomatic pressure on Iran. Trump’s statement has come amid international talks about Iran’s nuclear program, causing a stir on the global stage.
On the other hand, Trump also underlined the return plan of American soldiers from the Middle East. He said, “We have deployed our army in the Middle East for a long time. Now is the time to bring our soldiers home.” This step indicates major changes in America’s foreign policy. However, he did not clarify when and how this move to return the soldiers would apply.
Analysts believe that Trump’s statement can lead to new stress in regional and global politics. This new twist can increase complications in already stressful relations with Iran. Also, the return of soldiers from the Middle East can also affect the balance of power in the area. The world community is eyeing this policy of Trump administration.
