Trump is gone but some of his work is just producing, the latest of which is the election of the core hardliner among all the other hardliners President Elect Ebrahim Raisi as the new president of Iran replacing a reformist and the closest to the West Iran would ever come President Rouhani and his team.
Not only that, Mr. Raisi won with a landslide victory and from the first round and if that is not enough, his wing, the hardliners, collectively diminished the single reformist's votes in a total 22.3 million vs 2.4 million for the lone reformist.
Iran is split into two main wings: reformists who seek mending the relations with the west and sometimes at the cost of Iranian interests, and the hardliners or call them conservatives, if you may, these do not like the 'greatest devil the USA.
How did Trump exactly help prop up the chances of the hardliners over the reformists? He did a lot of dumb things against Iran hoping in his words and the words of his Pompeo thing: 'Imposing the maximum pressure on Iran and they will come to us begging for any deal'. In addition to the 'maximum pressure, the withdrawal from the internationally ratified nuclear deal with Iran, and the assassination of Iran's top general while on an official visit to neighboring Iraq openly and bragging about it, in addition to the constant threats by the USA, Israel, and the Saudis.
