Iran's Mixed Reaction to Trump's Victory

The Iranian government's response to Donald Trump's election victory shows a combination of disappointment and opportunism. While there is hesitance among certain factions, there exists a willingness to engage in dialogue with the United States, unlike the previous administration where dialogue was tied to preconditions like rejoining the Iran nuclear deal. Given the diminished relevance of the nuclear agreement, which has largely lapsed, conversations may proceed without such constraints. This shift marks a significant change in Iran's approach, possibly indicating both a desire to lift sanctions and to explore what mutual concessions could be negotiated.
