Over the course of US President Donald Trump’s tenure, the United States has practiced what it called “the policy of maximum pressure” against Iran, especially after Washington withdrew from the nuclear agreement reached in 2015 under President Barack Obama with the participation of the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany However, this policy generated a catastrophic failure and led to counterproductive results, most of which were in the interest of Tehran.

The policy pursued by President Trump during his tenure, trying to impose new conditions on Iran by tightening the siege and pressure, continued during the era of President Joe Biden, but it did not bear fruit in influencing Iran's positions and capabilities, and now Washington is backing down with the announcement of the chief Iranian nuclear negotiator, Ali Bagheri Kani, that the talks To restore the nuclear agreement, it will take place at the end of November with the aim of lifting the illegal and inhumane sanctions imposed by Washington on Tehran.

The policy of maximum pressure exercised by Washington under the title of “negotiation or economic collapse” against Tehran almost caused a war to erupt after Washington’s assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani, and Tehran responded by bombing the American base of Ain al-Assad in Iraq.

This policy has failed miserably, according to what political analysts and decision-makers see in the United States. Voices have emerged calling for Washington to return to negotiations with Tehran over the nuclear agreement, which Iran insists not accept its amendment.

The announcement of the start date of the talks coincided with the Iranian armed forces’ announcement that they had thwarted an American attempt to pirate an Iranian oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, a narrative confirmed by American officials, even if their version of the incident differed, and the American political and media circles began demanding the Biden administration to make concessions to Iran to return to the nuclear agreement in clear recognition and recognition. With the failure of Washington's "maximum pressure policy" against Iran, it went in the opposite direction, and contributed to isolating the United States instead of Iran, as the American newspaper Newsweek reported.

But the American extreme right, behind which “Israel” stands, is trying to drag Washington into a war whose results are unknown in a region erupting with problems and wars, and these attempts appeared in the form of articles, including what was written by the former American official in several American administrations, Dennis Ross, who called in the American Foreign Policy magazine. The Biden administration threatened to threaten war against Iran with the aim of deterring it, but he forgot that Tehran is not afraid of war and the threat of it, as it is well aware of its sources of strength and the weaknesses of its opponent.

The United States does not want, and may not be able, despite its military superiority, to launch a war against Iran, because without that, Washington will carefully calculate major obstacles. It is unable to bear the American army incurring heavy losses, and this will happen in any next war.

Despite the American air superiority and high-precision weapons that can bring Washington gains in the war, it does not guarantee victory for it in light of Iran’s possession of advanced and modern air defense systems, and its nuclear facilities are well fortified deep in the earth, and it is impossible to destroy them, not to mention the capabilities of the United States. Iran is a missile capable of targeting American bases in the region. What happened at Ain al-Assad base in Iraq 2020 is just a simple rehearsal of what could happen to American forces deployed at Gulf bases in any upcoming war.

There is no doubt that Washington possesses a far-reaching destructive arm through its fleets and tools, which makes it capable of inflicting painful blows on its opponents, but with Iran it knows well that it can start the war, but it cannot end it. Therefore, the constant “Israeli” incitement and anxiety among some decision makers in Washington And “Tel Aviv” will continue amid the decline of Washington’s military and political options in return for the growing strength and will of active regional countries, including Iran, and the tools of the United States in the region only have to understand the message well.
