The Republican Party nominee has expressed his intention to foster a positive relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran if he returns to the Oval Office.
Donald Trump, the US Republican presidential candidate, stated his hopes for maintaining amicable relations with Tehran during a press conference in New Jersey on Thursday, where he discussed his approach to restoring global peace.
“I’m not looking to be bad to Iran, we’re going to be friendly, I hope … maybe, but maybe not,” he remarked, while also accusing Tehran of providing support to the Palestinian militant group Hamas. “But they can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump emphasized.
The US exited the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in 2018 during Trump's first term, which he referred to as “the worst deal ever.” The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed in 2015 by Iran along with China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the US administration of President Barack Obama, required Tehran to reduce its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions.
Following Washington's rejection of the landmark agreement, Iran began to violate some of its commitments under the JCPOA and resumed uranium enrichment.
Recently, Trump's campaign team alleged that Iranian cybercriminals had hacked internal US documents in an attempt to influence the upcoming 2024 election. A prior cyber-intelligence report by Microsoft also indicated that hackers and bogus news outlets purportedly tied to Iran could be focusing on an unspecified individual related to a US presidential campaign.
Subsequently, Trump shared on his Truth Social platform that he suspected Iran was involved in the breach, stating, “We were just informed by Microsoft Corporation that one of our many websites was hacked by the Iranian Government – Never a nice thing to do!”
In response, Iran’s permanent mission to the UN refuted the allegations made by the Trump campaign. In a statement provided to Reuters, they asserted that “the Iranian government neither possesses [the documents alleged] nor harbors any intent or motive to interfere in the United States Presidential election.”
