Brian Hook, Architect of 'Maximum Pressure' Iran Policy, to Lead State Department Transition for President-elect Trump
Nov 7, 2024, 03:38 AM
Brian Hook, a neoconservative who served as Director of Policy Planning and as the US Special Representative for Iran under Mike Pompeo during the Trump administration's first term, is set to lead the State Department's transition team for president-elect Donald Trump, according to CNN citing three sources. Hook, the architect of the administration's 'maximum pressure' sanctions campaign against Iran, is known as a major hawk and anti-isolationist. His appointment signals that those hoping for a change in US foreign policy under Trump may be disappointed, as he is expected to lead recruitment for the State Department in the next administration.
