Political analyst Maisham Maharani, in response to the statements of Ahmad Rastina, a member of Iran's Islamic parliament, about revenge against Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Tehran seeks to use proxy networks and aligned groups in different parts of the world by spreading threats outside the region. He saw this situation as the result of years of appeasement policies by the US and Europe with the Islamic Republic.
Maharani added that the positions of the authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran should not be seen as contradictory. According to him, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Parliament and the military and security institutions work within the framework of a joint policy, which aims to simultaneously use diplomacy, threats and pressure to obtain concessions.
