Iran counting days as Trump prepares to leave office
Iran's mullahs are counting the days, waiting eagerly for Donald Trump to get out of the White House.
Iranian-American
relations deteriorated dramatically under Trump whose administration was close
to staging airstrikes against the Islamic Republic more than one time during
his four-year term.
There are fears that
Trump will order an airstrike against Iran during the remaining days of his
tenure.
Relations between Iran
and Israel are also deteriorating. However, there is belief that Israel cannot
take a decision to attack Iran without coordination with or approval from the
United States.
Some observers rule out
the possibility of a US airstrike against Iran in Trump's remaining days in
power.
However, others believe
that this possibility is still there.
There is also belief that
Iran will not be a top foreign policy priority for Joe Biden when it assumes
power later this month.
Biden will most likely be
busy addressing internal problems and issues, especially in the first period of
his presidency.
Israel too will not
likely seek opening a frontline with Israel in the coming period.
The Israeli army is now
in high alert, against the background of fears from a misunderstanding that can
increase tensions in the region.
This comes at a time
Israel also faces tensions on the Lebanese front.
