Abbas Abdi: Everything is in favor of the current government
Abbas Abdi states that the conditions of the two governments in most indicators are in favor of the current government. As a result, it is expected that its performance would be better in line with these conditions, but reality shows something else; it has been almost unsuccessful in all cases.
The Rouhani administration, until five days before its end, faced the harshest sanctions from Trump, sanctions that, according to government officials, were incomparable to those during Obama’s era.
During Obama’s term, in some cases, they even taught third countries ways to circumvent the sanctions to prevent excessive pressure, but this was not the case during Trump’s term, to the point where oil sales sometimes dropped to 300,000 barrels per day.
Since the beginning of February 2021, with Biden’s arrival, the sanctions have relatively eased to pave the way for an agreement, and this has continued until now. Therefore, the sanctions situation between the two governments is in favor of the current government. Additionally, the increase in oil prices is also to the benefit of this government.
