If President Donald Trump’s The movements of the staff are anything, you can leave the door to Iran with a more diplomatic than combative tone.
And Trump on Thursday evening suggested that he was open to a nuclear agreement with Iran.
Trump asked -if he would support Israel who hit Iran’s nuclear facilities, Trump told journalists: “We’ll have to see. I’ll meet with several people for the next two days. We’ll see, but We hope that this was how he worked without having to worry about it. “
“Iran We hope you make an agreement. I mean they make no agreement, I guess it’s too well.”
Iran, at least, expects only that. The Tehran Times, a regime -linked English newspaper, interrogated in a recent item If the shot of Brian Hook, the policy architect of “maximum pressure” about Iran during Trump’s first term, could “point out a change in Iran’s policy (Trump)”.
In November, News Outlets reported that Hook was directing the transition to the State Department. But Hook relieved the transition team shortly after December, sources familiar with the move confirmed to Fox News Digital.
This week, Trump struck a step further on publishing on social media that would have been withdrawn from his position in a US government tank.

“Brian Hook of the Wilson Center for Scholars … you are fired!” Trump wrote about social truth.
And after taking office, Trump eliminated the security details sponsored by the Government of the former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, A family source confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Former National Security Minister John Bolton told CNN that his detail was also removed, such as Hook.
“You can’t have (protection) the rest of your life. Do you want to have a lot of people guarding people for the rest of their lives? I mean there are risks for everything,” said Trump.
Trump recently put his Middle East Envoy, Steven Witkoff, in charge of dealing with US concerns about Iran, according to a Financial Times report.
Witkoff recently helped to seal negotiations about a Deal Ceasefire Between Hamas and Israel, which suggests that Iran’s willingness to participate in the negotiation table on nuclear issues before reducing the pressure, sources in the Financial Times said.
Experts warn that Iran enriches hundreds of uranium pounds in the 60% purity threshold, shy of the 90% purity levels needed to develop a nuclear pump.
At the same time, the President hired Michael Recino as Deputy Secretary for Defense of the Middle East, a foreign policy expert who said that the Middle East did not really “matter” the interests of the United States.
Decino is cut off from the same cloth as the Undersecretary of Defense for Politics Elbridge Colby, which has argued that the United States focus on military resources on combating China and dedicating less resources to other regions.
Recino, a former expert in the Think Tank Defense Priorities of Koch’s retaining defense, has strongly defended to pull us out of the Middle East.

“The basic question is: The Middle East still matters?” He said a resignation during a panel last February. “The answer is: not really, it is not really for the interests. What I would say is that the vital or existential interests of the United States in the Middle East are best characterized as a minimum for non -existent.”
“We are really there to counteract Iran and this is really at the behest of the Israelis and the Saudis,” he added.
“Iranian power is still exaggerated and misunderstood. Its economy continues with lower performance, and its conventional military man is outdated and not proven. Tehran simply does not have the financial capital or the capabilities of power hard to dominate the Middle East or directly threaten the interests of the United States, “he wrote in an article from 2023.
Decino also argued that the United States does not need to focus resources on an offensive campaign against the Houthis in the midst of attacks in shipping lanes to the Red Sea.
“In a nutshell, there are no existential or vital national interests of the United States at play in Yemen and there is very little position for the United States economically in the Red Sea.”
Instead, he argued in an opinion of 2023 that working to increase the help of Gaza undoed the Houthis of his reason declared for his attacks on the Red Sea, who have said they are a means of fighting on behalf of the name Gaza.
“Working to increase aid to Gaza would not only help relieve the humanitarian crisis there, but would deprive the Houthis of its justification claimed of the Red Sea attacks and would provide the group an out -of -ramp for the dropper that also also It would serve to prevent the United States’ indefinite participation in a wider regional war. “
Others from Trump’s foreign policy orbit have had a more bewildered tone towards Iran, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Israel’s ambassador Mike Huckabee.

Rubio has already said that he will work to recover the Snapback sanctions that were suspended in the 2015 Iran Agreement, as indicated by the written answers provided to Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
“A maximum pressure policy must be reinstated and Ukraine must be returned, he said recently.
Recinoes, along with other recent staff movements, has led to rumors of prominent Iran Falcons.
Mark Levin, a radio host who has Trump’s ear, has published X several times as opposed to the Decinine: “How would it have obtained a higher position than DOD?” Asked in a post.
“Although Recino and Witkoff are very different problems, Witkoff is Trump’s best friend (it seems difficult to stop, very important,” said an Iran expert. “Recino is a mystery and he does not align with Hegseth’s values or Trump in Iran or Israel. “
“There is a coordinated coordinated effort of the Iran regime and its pressure network in the West to cause divisions in the administration of President Trump on politics to Tehran,” said Kasra Aarabi, director of Research on the Iran Revolutionary Guard of the United Group against a nuclear Iran, Fox News Digital.
“After spending the last four years trying – and failure – to assassinate President Trump, Ayatollah has now instructed his propagandists to cause fissures between President Trump and his advisers in order to weaken the policy of the new Administration towards the Islamist regime. “

Aarabi warned: “In the last 48 hours, entities aimed at Ayatollah Khamenei in the Iran regime, such as the” Organization of Islamic Propaganda “, have been holding certain appointments in the broadest administration in the same way. they praised some of the appointments of former President Biden. “
