It\u2019s also important to remember that the US military absolutely dwarfs the Iranian one, so the US wouldn\u2019t be worried.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key issues that the US has with Iran is the Regime\u2019s regional threats, such as their interference in Syria and Yemen. Khamenei claimed that these wars were the result of the US\u2019s presence in the Middle East and that the US should withdraw, but there is no mistaking that the Iranian Regime is manipulating these conflicts for its own benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has threatened that Iran is \u201cfully prepared\u201d for any scenario if Trump pulls the US out of the nuclear deal. \u201cIran is fully prepared for any US scenario on the 2015 nuclear deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The head of Iran\u2019s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi, said that Iran was ready and able technically to enrich uranium to a higher level than ever before if Trump pulled out, which is strange considering that they shouldn\u2019t have been working on that over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth remembering that Iran is acting tough because it is terrified of being overthrown by the people of Iran. The Regime is weak and putting on a front to hide this from its enemies and the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Iranian regime&#8217;s Supreme Leader refused point blank to negotiate Iran\u2019s malign role in the Middle East or its ballistic missile programme, something that Donald Trump <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/2018\/05\/03\/iran-regime-refuses-to-abandon-its-malign-behavior\/\" title=\"Iran Regime Refuses To Abandon Its Malign Behavior\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":9906,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[436,38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9905"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9905"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9905\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9913,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9905\/revisions\/9913"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9905"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9905"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9905"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
