The world must return to a policy of "maximum pressure" against Iran to turn it into a more democratic country, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's incoming Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg told an Iranian opposition event in Paris on Saturday.
Trump has vowed to return to the policy he pursued in his previous term that sought to wreck Iran's economy to force the country to negotiate a deal on its nuclear programme, ballistic missile programme and regional activities.
"These pressures are not just kinetic, just not military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well", Retired Lieutenant-General Kellogg, who is set to serve as Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, told the audience at Paris-based Iranian opposition group National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
He said there was an opportunity "to change Iran for the better" but that this opportunity would not last forever.
"We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action."

Kellogg postponed a trip to European capitals earlier this month until after Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20.
It was unclear whether he would use his trip top Paris to meet French officials to discuss Ukraine. The French presidency, foreign ministry, Trump's transition team did not immediately respond for comment.

No war Zeeper KooK
That’s a really good question. DJT needs to keep a close eye 👁 on this guy.
Trump is getting ready to pound the crap out of Hamas, and not to bring them Democracy, either.
I wonder if these comments were authorized by the Trump team. We’ve got a full slate of incoming national security -related officials so I doubt the Ukraine envoy is the one they want opining as to Iran policy. But maybe we’ll find out.
Iran’s pals will be along shortly...
Well that clears it up.
“U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg told an Iranian opposition event in Paris on Saturday.” What does Ukraine have to do with Iran?
“Why would you post that before even looking at his military history and learning differently?”
None of Jon Preston’s reflect reality.
Then, you have kiryandil pushing him on! LOL
He doesn't have enough to do trying to end the war in Ukraine?
Who has killed more Nuland or Anthony Fauci?
Iran and Russia are allies.
I always appreciate marcusmaximus wisdom.
I never knew of his background.
Thank you for your very honorable service.

Lose your Special Neck Massager, mumsie?
Only a few days ago that it was reported that Kellogg's planned European trip was postponed until after Trump is sworn in. Now he pops up in Paris making noises about regime change in Iran.
I'd be surprised if this were authorized by anyone in the Trump camp and may signal Kellogg will be the first one fired by Trump in this new administration.
“Trump is getting ready to pound the crap out of Hamas, and not to bring them Democracy, either.”
I believe you are correct.
Your Putin is not a smart man by palling around with Iran. What January 18th doink?
mum's the word!
Putin and Iran are signing a 20 military and defense cooperation agreement on January 18th in Moscow. Not smart.
“Who has killed more Nuland or Anthony Fauci?”
Bill Gates pushing Moderna & Pfizerin mRNA here and thru WHO. As well as pushing multiple vaccines with his Gates Foundation in India & Africa.
What Velikaya Novosyolka doink?
