The new blueprint on ways to weaken Iran presented to the incoming Trump administration is a 'unique opportunity'.

The Trump transition team received a report recommending drastic measures to limit the Iranian regime, which was later shown to Planet Chronicle Digital, only days before President-elect Donald Trump's second term begins.

Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, CEO and founder of United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), stated on Planet Chronicle Digital that President-elect Trump now has a chance to challenge the regime in a time of its decline. Through diplomatic, informational, military, and economic means, he can hold Tehran accountable and promote stability in the region and a new Middle East.

The "A 100 Day Plan for the Incoming Trump Administration on Iran" report, authored by the UANI, has been shared with the Trump transition team.

Wallace stated that Iran has been the world's top state sponsor of terrorism since 1979, causing instability in the Middle East and oppressing its people without consequences.

To effectively hold Iran accountable for its regional destabilization efforts, the incoming Trump administration should adopt a comprehensive, whole-of-government approach across the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic sectors, as Ambassador Wallace suggested, alongside allies.

The incoming Trump administration is feared by Iran, according to Jason Brodsky, who believes there is a chance for Washington and its allies to take advantage of this fear to further their own interests.

UANI's policy director, Brodsky, advised against hasty diplomacy, stating that it could harm the current dynamic, in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital.

The report suggests several policy recommendations to weaken Iran and recommends that the U.S. government initially launch a pressure campaign to intensify the regime's decision-making.

The United States should take cues from Israel's experience since Oct. 7 on how to militarily strike Iran without causing a broader conflict.

Brodsky stated that if the Israelis can carry out their actions without causing a broader conflict, then the U.S. government should be able to do the same.

The authors suggest that President-elect Trump should deliver a major policy address to inform Tehran that the U.S. would not hesitate to use military force to destroy Iran's nuclear program if it continues to advance its capabilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported in early December that Iran had enriched uranium to weapons-grade levels. French President Emmanuel Macron stated that Iran's nuclear program is nearing the "point of no return," with many seeing it as a way to build leverage against the incoming Trump administration.

The report's authors suggest that the incoming Republican administration could target Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, Quds Force, and Intelligence Ministry assets inside Iran if Iran or its proxies harm Americans. Additionally, the report recommends that targeted strikes should be carried out against Iran's repressive apparatus through cyber and kinetic means if security forces violently suppress innocent protesters, as happened in 2009 and 2022.

The report states that the U.S. has not engaged in strikes or retaliations against the regime, instead focusing on its proxies.

The incoming Trump administration should reverse the calculus that emboldens Iranian decision-making to prioritize the benefits of operations against Americans over the costs and to doubt the U.S. resolve to defend its interests. One way to do so is to hold Iran's regime responsible on Iranian soil for the terrorism of its proxies. Additionally, the U.S. should build a military defector program and encourage political and military actors across the Islamic Republic, including within the Revolutionary Guard and other security forces, to defect from the regime.

Iran's revenue comes primarily from its oil exports, which enable it to fund its "Axis of Resistance" proxy networks and continue its terror activities in the Middle East. In 2024, Iran exported 587 million barrels of oil, up 10.75% from the previous year, due to OPEC cuts and weak sanctions enforcement.

Claire Jungman, a co-author and director of the Tanker Tracking Program and chief of staff at UANI, informed Planet Chronicle Digital that Iran's oil exports have increased to almost 2 million barrels per day under President Biden's administration, indicating weaker sanctions enforcement and the impact of billions in unfrozen assets.

Jungman stated that the new Trump administration has a vital chance to put an end to Tehran's illegal income sources and intensify the pressure on the regime.

Hamas and Hezbollah are two of the most prominent regional Islamist terror groups, and Iran is their primary source of funding. The State Department estimates that Iran provides approximately $100 million annually to Hamas and around $700 million to Hezbollah each year, making it the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

UANI warns against those in Western capitals who seek negotiation with Tehran, as this approach allows Iran to buy time and avoid pressure. Ambassador Wallace stated that the previous maximum pressure campaign was successful, and it is now necessary to apply this policy again as the regime faces setbacks and regional conflict with Israel after October 7th.

The Iranian regime's days are numbered, as the loss of its proxies and the support of the Iranian people have weakened the corrupt mullahs, according to Wallace.
