U.S. Envoy to Iran Brian Hook has stepped down from his position and will be replaced by the current envoy to Venezuela Elliot Abrams. The specific reason for Hook’s departure is unknown.
According to a tweet by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, however, he will be joining the private sector. Hook’s resignation comes as the U.S. looks to extend an international arms embargo in a vote next week with the UN Security Council.
“This chamber has a choice: stand for international peace and security as the United Nations founder intended or let the arms embargo on the Islamic Republic of Iran expire,” stated Pompeo. “…Betraying the UN’s mission and it’s finest ideals.”
