Iran's Eruptive And Irreversible
Situation: A Look At Confrontations Over Iran Nuclear Deal Deadline
Abdolrahman Mahabadi, political writer and
analyst
As President Trump’s May-12 deadline for fixing
Iran nuclear deal gets closer, speculations about the fate of the deal are on
the rise, with some predicting that the United States will walk away from the
deal and some saying otherwise.
Meanwhile, the Iranian regime and its associated
lobbies seek to push the idea that the US withdrawal from the deal will spark a
new war in the Middle East, thus trying to scare public opinion of such a
decision.
Fundamental to an accurate analysis of the
situation, however, is that we have a true understanding of the nature of the
Iranian regime, which has just entered its 40th year. Without an exact
understanding, it won’t be possible to describe what happens when the deadline
is over.
Coming to power with the help of a
reactionary-colonial political objective, the Iranian regime took advantage of
people’s religious tendencies from the very beginning, laying the foundation of
its formation and survival by adopting an expansionist policy through waging
wars.
Subdued by the strategy the newly arrived Iranian
regime had deployed, many in the region first adopted a soft policy to deal
with the regime, a policy that only emboldened the regime and led to its
increased interventions in the domestic affairs of regional countries
throughout the coming years, with Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon as bitter
realities of the current era being the most obvious examples in this regard.
