On Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced the firing of Brian Hook, a significant figure relating to Iran policy, via his Truth Social account. Hook, who previously served as Special Representative for Iran during Trump's first term under Mike Pompeo, was a proponent of a sanctions-focused 'maximum pressure' strategy against Iran. This firing is part of a broader initiative, as Trump stated that his Presidential Personnel Office is engaged in identifying and removing over a thousand appointees from the previous administration to align with his new vision. Other notable firings included General Mark Milley and celebrity chef José Andrés.
