Former Iran envoy Brian Hook, who served under President Donald Trump, has expressed the view that President-elect Joe Biden sees Tehran as the primary source of instability in the Middle East. Hook attributes the ongoing crisis to Biden's perceived failure to deter Iran and its proxies.
In recent years, Gulf Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both major oil producers, have shifted their foreign policies towards improving relations with former adversaries, including Iran. However, when asked about these countries' stance on further escalation between Iran and Israel, Hook emphasized Trump's belief that the Iranian regime is the main destabilizing force in the region.
