The Financial Times revealed today, Saturday, that the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump will re-use the “maximum pressure” policy to curb Iran’s ability to finance its regional proxies and develop nuclear weapons, and to force Tehran to sign a new nuclear agreement and change its regional policies.

The newspaper explained that Trump will seek to tighten sanctions on Tehran, including sanctions related to oil exports, and that Trump's team is working on drafting executive orders against Tehran that may be issued on his first day in the White House.

The newspaper quoted a national security expert as saying: “He (Trump) is determined to re-use the maximum pressure policy to reduce Iran’s financial capacity as quickly as possible.”

But the expert expressed skepticism about the possibility of Iran accepting Trump's conditions.

“We hope this will be an incentive for them to agree to negotiations that could lead to stability and even normalization of relations, but I think Trump’s conditions may be too difficult for Iran to accept,” the expert was quoted as saying by the Financial Times.
