While Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, has repeatedly attempted to pressure the Islamic Republic of Iran with threatening tones and baseless ultimatums, the realities on the ground and in diplomacy show that these actions have not only had no effect on the iron will of the Iranian nation but have further exposed his inability and weakness in foreign policy.

Hollow Threats and Enduring Resistance: Since the unilateral withdrawal of the U.S. from the JCPOA and the imposition of oppressive sanctions, Trump and his team believed that maximum pressure could bring Iran to the negotiating table and impose their illegitimate demands. However, the intelligent and strategic resistance of the Islamic Republic has thwarted all of the White House’s plans.

Failure to Achieve Goals: International experts also acknowledge that Trump’s policies towards Iran have not only failed to achieve his stated goals but have led to the strengthening of internal cohesion in Iran and an increase in the country’s defensive capabilities. These ultimatums have only served as a tool for domestic consumption and to satisfy Zionist lobbies and regional reactionaries.

Failure of the Maximum Pressure Strategy: Trump’s ultimatums, often accompanied by fabricated deadlines, have consistently been met with indifference and resolve from Tehran. This approach clearly demonstrates that the U.S. lacks real and effective leverage to change Iran’s behavior and resorts only to fruitless rhetoric.

Ultimately, history has proven that independent and free nations will never bow to the bullying and threats of arrogant powers. The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on its internal strength and popular support, will continue its path of honor and authority with power.
