WASHINGTON – A top national security aide to former President Barack Obama will be tapped as U.S. envoy for Iran.
President Joe Biden has named Robert Malley as special U.S. envoy for Iran.
Malley currently runs the International Crisis Group. Iran hawks are aghast, believing Malley to be a key architect of the 2015 nuclear deal that former President Donald Trump withdrew from. They fear President Joe Biden wants to rejoin the Iran deal at any cost and may be willing to sacrifice the security of Israel and the Gulf Arab states to do so.
