It'll be harder for Trump to demonize a country where democratic culture is spreading, says Bani-Sadr.
Without the moderate leader, he says, the regime will maintain a “confrontation and secret compromise” trend, perhaps more easily with President Trump.
He argues that Saudi Arabia and Iran have been locked in mutual “closed circuits of violence” since the 1979 revolution that need to be broken.
