Trump’s electoral defeat may increase the pressure for war with Iran
Trita Parsi wrote in an analysis that war with Iran was one of the main reasons for Trump’s and the Republicans’ heavy defeat in the election, but this same result may increase the pressures to escalate the conflict. He emphasized that this assessment does not mean the resumption of war is certain; however, the balance of pressures for and against the war may shift in favor of escalating the conflict. Parsi also considered revenge as a potential factor in Trump’s future calculations and claimed that he is angry about the impact of the Iran war on his political fate.
