On March 7, Fox Business Network\u2019s Maria Bartiromo asked President Donald Trump, ‘There are reports now that Russia says it will help the United States negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. What kind of a deal with Iran do you want to do? You\u2019ve said they cannot have a nuclear weapon.’ Trump made his position clear: ‘There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal.’  <\/p>\n

He went on to call Iranians ‘great people’ suffering under what he described as an ‘evil’ regime that shoots protesters in the streets. Trump then revealed that he had sent an ultimatum-style letter to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, seeking a diplomatic settlement to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state rather than resorting to military action.  <\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s supreme leader rejected the letter, disappointing regime officials who hoped Trump\u2019s willingness to talk could ease their economic collapse. He warned that the U.S. wouldn\u2019t stop at nuclear negotiations but ‘raise new demands, including restrictions on defense capabilities and international influence,’ a clear reference to the IRGC\u2019s missile program and its terror proxy network.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s stance mirrored Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov\u2019s warning that Trump shouldn\u2019t expand nuclear talks to include Iran\u2019s missile program or regional activities, calling it unrealistic to kill three birds with one stone.  <\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s strategy for helping the U.S. to negotiate with Iran seems clear \u2014 allow a U.S.-Israel strike to destroy Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, easing international pressure. Once the regime survives, Russia regains control, exploiting Iran\u2019s wealth for decades to come. But, how much influence does Moscow truly have over Tehran? <\/p>\n

On June 12, 1989, a week after Khamenei became supreme leader, U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Smith Hempstone, appointed by President George H.W. Bush, warned in the Observer-Reporter: ‘Unfortunately if Khamenei remains in power and seeks an opening to the outside world, he is more likely to look to the Soviet Union than to the US. He is a graduate of Moscow\u2019s Patrice Lumumba university.’  <\/p>\n

On February 5, 2010, Russia\u2019s State TV confirmed Khamenei as a ‘notable alumnus’ in a special program marking the 50th anniversary of this training center. Dr. Ilan Berman, appointed to the RFE\/RL Board of Directors by Trump\u2019s administration in February 2025, reinforced this back in 2001, stating: ‘Interestingly, many of Iran\u2019s hardest hardliners were trained in the Soviet Union’ including ‘Iran\u2019s spiritual leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was himself a graduate of the USSR’s training academy for third-world anti-Americans, Patrice Lumumba University.’  <\/p>\n

With Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former high-ranking KGB officer, in power, Moscow continues its Soviet-era strategy, using Muslim proxy groups against the U.S. and Israel. <\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s influence over Iran is undeniable \u2014 Putin effectively controls the regime. In March 2021, leaked audio from Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, revealed that Putin ordered IRGC commanders, including Qasem Soleimani, to send troops to Syria and disrupt the nuclear feal, fearing improved U.S.-Iran relations.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Under Trump\u2019s successful maximum pressure policy, according to New York Times, ‘Iran Signals Openness to Limited Nuclear Talks With U.S.,’ following Russia\u2019s guidance. However, history proves that once pressure eases, the Islamic regime resumes funding terror proxies with petrodollars, attacking Israel and U.S. allies, and plotting assassinations \u2014 including against Trump, his family, and officials, even after his presidency, as seen over the past four years.  <\/p>\n

In the Oval Office, Trump stressed urgency: ‘We\u2019re down to the final moments \u2026 Something\u2019s going to happen very soon \u2026 We have a situation with Iran, and something\u2019s going to happen very soon. Very, very soon, you\u2019ll be talking about that pretty soon, I guess.’  <\/p>\n

Khamenei\u2019s stance mirrored Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov\u2019s warning that Trump shouldn\u2019t expand nuclear talks to include Iran\u2019s missile program or regional activities, calling it unrealistic to kill three birds with one stone.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the same time, Israel confirmed a joint drill of F-15 and F-35 fighter jets with a U.S. B-52 bomber \u2014 likely signaling a possible joint strike on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities.  <\/p>\n

U.S.-Israel cooperation under Trump is preparing to neutralize Iran\u2019s nuclear program, the IRGC\u2019s missile arsenal, and its terror proxy network \u2014 a mission already underway post-October 7th.  <\/p>\n

But if the regime survives and sanctions ease, Iran could access $100 billion annually to rebuild even stronger. Failure to act leaves Iran as a pawn of Russian oligarchs to ‘Build Back Better’ their terror networks and nuclear facilities. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
