Iranian politicians are leaving their differences aside to face Donald Trump's aggressive foreign policy moves
It’s like playing with a matchstick near a thousand gallon oil drum. One wrong move and there’s no stopping the inferno. That’s how analysts see the situation in the Persian Gulf these days as the United States ratchets up pressure on Iran.
Then on May 14, Yemen’s Houthi rebels used drones to damage a pipeline facility that supplies oil to a port on the Red Sea coast. The allegations against Iran have come at a time when the administration of US President Donald Trump sent an aircraft carrier and long-range B-52 bombers to the region after his officials said they had intelligence about Iran posing a threat to its troops.
Trump abandoned the landmark pact last year, which also included the EU, Russia and China as signatories. To stifle its arch-rival's economy, the US also sanctioned Iran’s mineral and steel manufacturing sectors, which will inevitably hurt the important auto sector that employs tens of thousands of people.
Iran says it remains committed to the spirit of the deal, but this week announced that it will stop implementing some parts of the agreement in response to the hostile steps taken by the US. The response of the Iranian leadership to US threats has mostly been rhetorical, says Fereshteh Sadeghi, a Tehran-based journalist.
The US has for days leaked information about intelligence reports suggesting an imminent threat to American troops in Syria and Iraq from Iran-backed Shia militias.
