Trump broke the nuclear deal
Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran in 2018. At the time, Trump called the agreement a “bad deal” that failed to curb Iran's ballistic missile program and malign activities in the Middle East. After breaking the deal, Trump imposed several new sanctions on Iran, including on oil exports and international banking.
Four years ago, Iran was economically weak
Recalling his tenure, Trump claimed that four years ago Iran was economically weak and lacked money to support terrorist organizations or attack Israel. He alleged that Iran now has $300 billion. It is worth noting that this figure is much higher than the current figure. However, it is true that Iran has increased its oil exports in the last few years.
How much oil did Iran sell during Trump's tenure?
During Donald Trump's tenure, Iran was selling around 300,000 barrels of oil, which was much less than the import of essential goods. Since Joe Biden took power, Iran has steadily increased its oil exports. According to a report by Iran International, Iran is now exporting 1.5 million barrels of oil per day. From which it earns around $ 30 billion annually. This figure is a far cry from Trump's figure of $ 300 billion.
China is the biggest buyer of oil from Iran
China has been the biggest buyer of Iranian oil for years. Sanctions from both the Trump and Biden administrations have failed to deter China from buying oil from Iran. Last year, the Biden administration also decided to free $16 billion of frozen Iranian assets in Iraq and South Korea.
extended a hand of friendship towards Iran
Trump also extended a hand of friendship towards Iran and said, 'I don't want a war with Iran, I want to live with them, but they cannot have nuclear weapons.' Trump had also said in June that he did not want enmity with Iran.
Iran has a close eye on the US presidential election
The Iranian government is reportedly keeping a close eye on the US presidential election, especially Trump's potential victory. Iranian observers generally believe that a Harris administration would be more beneficial to Tehran because it would not enforce sanctions as strictly.
