Said Jaafari/Journalist:
When Jimmy Carter, the democratic president of the United States, issued the order to freeze Iran's assets on November 14, 1979, a few months had passed since the revolution and no one knew that the dispute over the American hostages would lead to a break in relations that would last for decades.
More than three decades later, another president from the same party, Barack Obama, signed an agreement with Iran that revived the hope of reducing this hostility; The agreement that his Republican successor left.
The victory of the Democrats in the congressional elections once again raised the question of what changes the growing power of this party will bring to Iran.
The new majority will begin its work on January 3, 2027, and no one can predict what attitude the new faces of the US Congress will take towards Iran, but perhaps a historical review can provide a picture of this party's policy towards Tehran. The precedents can be seen from agreement and negotiation to sanctions and breaking the relationship.
