Why Donald Trump and Iran hate each other
Donald Trump and Iran’s animosity stems from a long history of US-Iran tensions. Iran’s resentment traces back to the 1953 coup supported by the US and UK, and more recent events like Trump’s withdrawal from the Iran Nuclear Deal and the 2020 drone strike killing General Qassem Soleimani. Trump’s unpredictable approach, marked by sanctions and military action, intensified hostilities. Iran’s response included disinformation campaigns and assassination attempts, viewing Trump as a threat to its interests. Trump’s potential return could renew economic isolation and military tensions, making any chance of improving relations unlikely, with both sides deeply distrustful of each other.
