U.S. President Donald Trump will appoint Washington's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff as envoy for Iran, putting him in charge of diplomacy with the Islamic Republic, sources told the Financial Times. An Israeli source said this suggests that Trump "is interested in testing the diplomatic level in his relations with Tehran before applying military pressure on it." Witkoff was involved in negotiations on the cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
