Iran Press/ America: The ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Venezuela, Hojjatullah Soltani, tweeted on Sunday, stating: "The appointment of Abrams as a failed agent to an impossible mission in order to exert maximum pressure on Iran is a sign of confusion and chaos in the foreign policy of the terrorist US president towards the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Elliott Abrams, the current US special envoy for Venezuelan affairs, is set to be in charge of the task group against Iran and to continue the campaign of maximum pressure in the administration of US President Donald Trump against Iran.
