Several former Iranian politicians, editorial writers and experts suggest that the country’s regime should begin a new chapter in the relationship with Trump, write Omni citing the New York Times.
The relationship between the US and Iran can be described as strained. Trump has expressed that he will continue his tough policy towards the country and Iran has been accused of planning to assassinate Trump in the fall.
But during the week, the Iranian newspaper Shargh, on its editorial page, called on President Masoud Pezeshkian to “avoid past mistakes and adopt a pragmatic and multifaceted line” towards the US and Trump.
According to the NYT, many sources within the Iranian regime have the same attitude.
In an open letter to Pezeshkian, former top politician Hamid Aboutalebi also writes that the country must not “miss out on this historic opportunity to change the relationship with the United States”.
