    Trump Considers Grenell for Iran Envoy, Signals Hardline Policy Despite Denial

    Trump Considers Grenell for Iran Envoy, Signals Hardline Policy Despite Denial

    Dec 12, 2024, 07:54 AM

    President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly considering appointing Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief and ex-ambassador to Germany, as a special envoy for Iran. Grenell, who has been described as a 'star' by Trump, is expected to engage with regional and international stakeholders regarding Iran. However, Grenell has denied these reports, indicating that the information is incorrect. Trump's choice of Grenell, if confirmed, would signal a continuation of a hardline policy towards Iran, potentially reviving the 'maximum pressure' strategy against the country.
