Since US President Donald Trump is trying to fulfill his campaign threats, other nations are expected to keep a watchful eye on his moves, says a commentator.
Everybody “should monitor Trump’s comments very closely and not fall into the fallacy of thinking that he may not do what he says because he actually is doing what he has been preaching during his campaign,” says Alexander Azadgan, a senior geopolitical analyst from Tehran.
“My consultation to everyone is to keep taking Mr. Trump seriously, he is going to fulfill a lot of his campaign promises as we have been seeing with his executive actions some of which are absolutely illegal,” Azadgan told Press TV on Wednesday.
In response to a conventional missile test by Iran, US President Donald Trump has taken hostile stance toward Tehran, saying that the Islamic Republic ‘is playing with fire.’
Trump argued that ‘nothing is off the table’ as far as Iran's missile program is concerned.
The threat that “all options are on the table is not new” because the United States has been using such a rhetoric since the Islamic Republic of Iran came into establishment, he said.
Trump, like his predecessor Barack Obama, tries to mislead the public opinion about Iran’s defensive capabilities, while Iranians have every right under the United Nations’ regulations to defend themselves in the face of foreign threats.
