After establishing the Iran nuclear deal as his first-term legacy, the question now is, what new initiative will Iranian president Hassan Rouhani embark on in his second term? Should there be any expectation from the international community in Rouhani's second term as this regime's president? And if Rouhani has the will to bring about any change in, for example, Syria, a big if, will it be for the better good of the Syrian people and the region? Or merely seeking Iran's interests?
Iran's policies in the region have been considered by many to be based on double standards. How does Iran legitimize its interference in Syria, in Iraq, in Yemen, and across the region while millions have been killed, injured, and displaced as the entire region remains in turmoil?
Iran claims to seek peace, stability, and cooperation in the Middle East through negotiations with neighboring countries. Yet the status quo has changed significantly for Rouhani's second term. Donald Trump is now the U.S. president, bringing an end to Obama's appeasement policy and calling on all countries to isolate Iran.
