The Trump administration, which unilaterally withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Agreement during Donald Trump’s first term, claims to be negotiating a new nuclear agreement with Iran. However, ‘negotiations’ are taking place under an escalation of economic coercive measures, a.k.a. sanctions, and military threats. Bahman Azad, president of the US Peace Council, delves into the hidden intentions of the Trump administration and the changes to Iran’s foreign policy under its new president. Azad also explains what is happening in the context of the rise of the multipolar world and the decline of US hegemony, and what we can do in the United States to promote security and peace, as Israel and the US prepare for war.
