Top US envoy for Iran Brian Hook is leaving his post and Elliott Abrams, the US special representative for Venezuela, will add Iran to his role "following a transition period" with Hook, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday.
Hook's surprise departure comes at a critical time when Washington has been intensely lobbying at the United Nations to extend an arms embargo on Iran and as the UN Security Council prepares to hold a vote on the US resolution next week.
"We're going to continue to make the case for this," Hook told reporters on Thursday morning, hours before his departure was announced. "We hope that the council can find a way."
I thank Special Representative Brian Hook for his 3+ years of service to the State Department and @realDonaldTrump as he moves on to the private sector. He has been a valued member of my leadership team.It was not immediately clear when Hook's tenure would formally end and whether he would see through the vote or not.
