Trump\u2019s previous term saw the implementation of severe sanctions and the US withdrawal from a nuclear deal that had initially provided Iran with some economic relief. For Iranians, this history casts doubt on prospects for improved relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic Concerns and Sanctions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During Trump\u2019s first term, the US exited the nuclear deal, reinstating sanctions that heavily impacted the Iranian economy. The depreciation of the rial and escalating inflation left Iranians struggling with high costs of goods. As news of Trump\u2019s victory spread, 37-year-old Bashir Abbaspour voiced common fears: \u201cThe sanctions will increase, and with that, so will the prices.\u201d Many in Iran are bracing for similar economic challenges under Trump\u2019s renewed leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iranian Officials\u2019 Reactions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Iranian officials have downplayed the impact of the US election outcome on their relationship with Washington. The conservative newspaper <em>Jam-e Jam<\/em> echoed this sentiment, featuring images of Trump and Harris under the headline, \u201cThe result of the US elections will make no difference for us.\u201d Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has maintained that Iran-US relations remain unchanged regardless of which party holds office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mounting Regional Tensions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s previous tenure saw tensions escalate between Iran and the US. In 2020, the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian general, in a US airstrike led to Iranian retaliatory strikes on American bases in Iraq. Amid recent regional instability, especially following the Gaza conflict in 2023, indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US have also stalled, according to Araghchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Widespread Public Uncertainty<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Iranian citizens remain deeply concerned about the impact of renewed US pressure on their daily lives. Zahra Eghbali, a 56-year-old resident of Tehran, expressed worries shared by many, saying, \u201cPeople are under pressure\u2026both sides should come to an agreement that benefits the people.\u201d With a turbulent past between the nations and Trump\u2019s return on the horizon, Iranians are left hoping for a path to economic stability and reduced tensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tags: #IranUSRelations #TrumpVictory #MiddleEastTensions #IranSanctions #NuclearDeal Concerns Rise as Trump\u2019s Return Looms With Donald Trump poised for a return to the White House, anxiety grows in Iran over the potential resumption of his \u201cmaximum pressure\u201d policy.
