Washington plans to issue a statement saying Iran has links to the al-Qaeda
terrorist organization. The US wants to disclose information that Tehran has
financed and has links to terrorist organizations. Iran is a target for the
Washington administration and faces many political challenges, especially
during Donald Trump's presidency.
According to US intelligence, Abu
Muhammad al-Masri was involved in the masterminds of the bombing of US
embassies in Africa. These and other allegations related to Tehran's support
for the Houthi militia in Yemen and Hezbollah, which the United States
recognizes as a terrorist organization, have prompted the United States to come
up with a plan to prove Iran has links to terrorist organizations.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
plans to make clear Iran's links to al-Qaeda. This comes as Trump's term is
less than 8 days away. President-elect Biden is facing amid tensions between
Tehran and Washington deteriorates, but Secretary-General Pompeo is expected to
elaborate on the relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda and disclose their
information. Issues expected to disclose Pompeo include the killing of a
suspected second leader of Alqaeda Abu Muhammad al-Masri who was killed in
Iran.
During his term, Trump tried to
force Iran to enter into an agreement to reduce uranium enrichment in Iran, but
that did not work and imposed a series of sanctions. Washington's sanctions on
Tehran have been on economics, trade, weapons and politics.
The United States has accused Iran
of supporting terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and the Houthi group in Yemen,
which Washington plans to recognize as a terrorist organization for the coming weeks.
Former United States President George W. Bush has accused Iran of having links
to al-Qaeda 9/11 attacks on US skyscrapers. Tensions between the two sides have
since escalated and exacerbated by the US airstrikes a year ago killing General
Qasem Sulaimani and the assassination of a nuclear scientist late last year.
Tehran will miss a new opportunity to repair a strained relationship between it and the new US president if it is exposed a relationship between al Qaeda and Tehran. Additional sanctions are expected before Trump leaves from the office, which will hamper the resumption of bilateral relations that Tehran is seeking.
Any sanctions on Iran would reduce
oil production and economic growth, and the country could face a difficult
economic situation. More than $ 7 billion has been frozen in South Korean banks
and the United States has ordered that the money not be released to Iran. The
only hope for the Iranian regime is to open a new door for Biden resume the
nuclear deal withdrawn by Trump in 2018.
