Raymond Tanter, President of the American Committee on Human Rights, wrote an article about how Trump’s election is a game changer for Iran policy. He believes that the new president will be able to work in favour of the Iranian people. 

He said that there is a “war for Washington” between the Iranian regime and the main opposition – the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Tanter believes that the NCRI will likely be received favourably by the White House as they hold the same opinions regarding the Iran deal as Trump. But this does not mean the Iran problem will be easy to solve.

Dr. Ivan Sascha Sheehan wrote a piece for the Independent Journal Review about the Trump administration and Iran. He highlighted that during the presidential campaign Trump did his best to conjure up doubt about the Iran nuclear deal. However, there were many who disputed that the deal was a “bad” deal as Trump said, yet in recent days it has been brought to the world’s attention that Iran has failed to comply with some of its obligations.

Davina Miller, a contributor to The Hill and former Head of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford in the UK, has written an article about the United States’ policy on Iran. She said that past presidents of the U.S. have treated Iran with defeatism, but hopefully this will change with Donald Trump who has already expressed his disproval of the Iran nuclear deal.

Hassan Mahmoudi, human rights advocate and social media journalist, writes in The American Thinker on November 22, 2016 that, “Early hours of Wednesday, November 8. The sun has just started shining on the Gulf.  It is early morning in Tehran and other parts of Iran, but it is Tuesday evening across the United States.  The American people, as well as other nations, are still waiting for the news media to introduce the next occupant of the White house.  Whether the next U.S. president is he or she is yet a guess.”

An opinion piece by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) writes about Congressman Mike Pompeo and a visit he made with Senator Tom Cotton to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna in the summer of 2015 over their concerns related to Iran’s outlawed nuclear activities.

The WSJ says the during that trip Rep. Pompeo and Senator Cotton learned of two secret codicils to the Iranian nuclear deal, that according to the WSJ article, the Obama Administration failed to disclose to Congress.
