Trump's latest hires and fires rankle Iran hawks as new president suggests nuclear deal
Fox News
If President Donald Trump’s personnel moves are any tell, he may come out of the gate towards Iran with a tone that is more diplomatic than combative.
Asked if he would support Israel striking Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump told reporters, "We'll have to see. I'm going to be meeting with various people over the next couple of days. We'll see, but hopefully that could be worked out without having to worry about it."
"Iran hopefully will make a deal. I mean, they don't make a deal, I guess that's OK, too."
Iran, at least, is hoping for just that. The Tehran Times, a regime-linked English language newspaper, questioned in a recent article whether the firing of Brian Hook, the architect of the "maximum pressure" policy on Iran during Trump’s first term, could "signal a change in [Trump’s] Iran policy."
