Retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, appointed as President-elect Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, recently emphasized the need for the United States to adopt a policy of 'maximum pressure' towards Iran. Speaking at an event sponsored by the National Council of Resistance of Iran in Paris, Kellogg highlighted the importance of addressing Iran's nuclear ambitions, stating that the acquisition of a nuclear weapon by Iran would have severe repercussions for the Middle East.
Kellogg underscored the significance of reinstating a policy of maximum pressure on Iran, a stance that was initiated during Trump's first term when the U.S. withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018. The retired lieutenant general stressed the importance of global cooperation in applying pressure on Iran, emphasizing the support for the Iranian people's aspirations for democracy.
