The US media said the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh will affect the shape of US-Iran relations during the era of President-elect Joe Biden.
The “National Interest” magazine stated in a report that Zadeh’s assassination places Iran facing a decisive choice of either accepting the deal or continuing its nuclear efforts and threatening the region.
Biden commented in an interview with the US network “CNN”, on the impact of Zadeh’s death, on the hopes of a breakthrough between Tehran and Washington, saying: “It is difficult to say (now)”.
Biden had hinted that he would return the United States to the Iran nuclear deal, which could ease the sanctions imposed on Tehran in exchange for guarantees, adding that, in the end, the United States would not allow Iran to possess nuclear weapons.
Malicious force
The magazine outlined 4 major events that the Biden administration will face as it seeks to reshape relations between the United States and Iran:
First, the Iranian regime remains as it has always been an inherently insidious force at home and abroad.
The magazine emphasized that the regime, born of a religious revolution, is spiteful in its behavior, seeking to destabilize competing Sunni governments, sponsor terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel, threaten Europe and the United States, and seek to obtain nuclear and ballistic weapons, and other weapons to intimidate your opponents.
He indicated that the United States and Iran have different values and interests, and no amount of diplomatic appeasement or economic aid from Washington will transform Tehran’s radical regime into something else, adding that the United States will achieve nothing more than a cold peace with Iran.
Agreement is not enough
Second, the 2015 nuclear deal is insufficient in its current form, raising the question of how Biden would approach it.
The magazine stated that the nuclear deal, as it stands, failed to force Iran to stop its nuclear activities.
According to the Wall Street Journal, although European countries hope that the Biden administration will reduce nuclear tensions with Iran, they will not pressure Washington to quickly re-enter the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
Israel
Third, Israel is in a real state of war with Iran, and this will not change any new nuclear deal or rapprochement between the United States and Iran.
The magazine believes that Israel’s confrontation with Iran is hotter than the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, but it is not as hot as a large-scale fire, and Iran is threatening to destroy Israel and is seeking weapons to do so. , arming its allies with increasingly sophisticated weapons, and is seeking a closer military presence to Israel. The borders of Israel entrenching itself in Syria.
While Israel seeks to obstruct Iran’s nuclear efforts by assassinating its scientists and sabotaging its facilities, and by bombing the military facilities that Iran is building in Syria and the weapons convoys it organizes.
Fourth, Israel’s ability to attack Iran’s nuclear program from within the country is an asset that Washington could exploit.
The magazine emphasized that Israel’s ability to attack the Iranian nuclear program could serve the interests of both Washington and Israel, and made it clear that with the Iranian economy severely weakened by US sanctions, this would fuel growing internal opposition that could threatening Tehran’s grip on power, thus making the regime more likely. Willing to think about the deal on its nuclear efforts, Washington could use the threat of more Israeli measures to push Tehran to an agreement on stricter terms than its predecessor.
