The Trump administration’s top official for Iranian affairs is stepping down.
US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook has decided to leave his role, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced today.
“Hook has been my point person on Iran for over two years, and he has achieved historic results countering the Iranian regime,” said Pompeo in a statement.
Hook was an adamant critic of the Islamic Republic and a key part of US President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against the country.
