Iranian crisis for Biden

The United States and Iran reached a historic nuclear pact in 2015, which Donald Trump subsequently abandoned.

Trump's opposition to Joe Biden has started even before his presidency began.

This is how outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's tour should be interpreted, which led him to meet in Saudi Arabia with Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salmán and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a secret summit widely reported by the Israeli media even if the Government of Riyadh denied it.

A few days earlier, Donald Trump had proposed to his military leadership the preparation of an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

And later, on Friday, the father of the planned Iranian atomic bomb, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated in an attack some 90 kilometers from Tehran, presumably at the hands of the Israeli secret services.

All of these moves are attempts to derail Biden's plans to resume negotiations with Iran.

One of Trump's most regrettable achievements has been the suspension of the nuclear pact signed by Barack Obama in 2015 by which Tehran renounced the pursuit of the atomic weapon, submitted to strict controls by the International Atomic Energy Agency and began its reincorporation to the international community.

That multilateral agreement was a leap forward in the policy against nuclear proliferation and an example of the effectiveness of diplomacy and sanctions combined in dealing with dangerous regimes.

The Iranian regime, disastrous in so many aspects, has opted for containment, awaiting the new Democratic Administration.

No one is better suited to an Iran isolated from the world and radicalized than to the brutal Saudi autocracy and its clandestine ally, the Israel of a politically worn Netanyahu and besieged by the justice of his country.

Biden must count on the support of the international community and the EU to undo the dangerous path of confrontation and resume another that - without naivety and with an unwavering commitment to the security of allies in the area - seeks to alienate Iran in a way. verifiable of nuclear temptation through diplomacy.
