Iran expects Donald Trump to avenge his defeat in the midterms, Vali Nasser, a former dean of Johns Hopkins University, told the throwaway news website. Trump is going to blame Iran for his defeat, Nasser said, and with no chance of repairing his image at home, he may want to take another big step by saying: I had the last word, I overthrew this regime, I broke Iran. Tehran sees him as unpredictable after bombing Iran twice in the middle of negotiations, Nasser noted. Iran remains open to negotiations, but does not see a breakthrough in the near future, as even the best deal will not stop it. Trump has not yet concluded that there is no military way out of the war he started, Nasser added.
