Trump: The New Pharaoh

On Sunday morning when I logged in to my LinkedIn account, it was filled with a post on US president-elect Donald Trump. The gist of this post was, “Any country that joins or trade in BRICS currency will have to face 100% tariffs and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful US economy”.

I was not surprised to read Trump’s post because he has been elected with the votes and financial support of military complexes, oil companies and Wall Street mafia. He has been given mandate to bring the entire world under the US hegemony.

Americans have attained this mindset because rest of countries, including some of the global and regional powers have proved spineless. The biggest evidence of this feebleness in the ongoing genocide by Israel in Gaza, to date nearly 45,000 people mostly women and children have been killed. Remember the munitions is being supplied by the United States, which has been also vetoing UN resolutions.

The time has come all the nations join hands to end the US hegemony. If Japan, Germany, China, Singapore and Malaysia can become economic might and Iran can survive and prosper with more than four and half decades of economic sanctions, there is no need to be afraid of US onslaught. Defeat is the ultimate destination of the United States.

No difference who wins election in the US

President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday that it "does make a difference" for Iran who has won the presidential elections in the United States, noting Iran and its political system is reliant on its own power and its great and noble nation.   

It was the first reaction by the Iranian president since Donald Trump won the White House in the presidential elections on November 05.

Pezeshkian added, "In developing our relations with other countries we will never have a 'closed or limited' view."

The president said Iran prioritizes developing ties with Muslim and neighboring countries and deeply believes in fostering unity among Islamic nations.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeili Baghaei also said on Thursday that Iran will judge the new US government on the basis of its policies and approaches.

Baghaei said Trump's victory has provided an opportunity for the United States to reassess its "wrong policies".
