Senator Kelly Criticizes Witkoff and Kushner Role in Iran Peace Talks
Senator Mark Kelly criticized the appointment of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to the US negotiating team in Islamabad, arguing the administration cannot send two real estate developers to negotiate peace in a conflict of this magnitude. The Arms Control Association separately assessed that US negotiators were ill-prepared for serious nuclear talks, lacking technical expertise on Iran's nuclear file. The critique reflects bipartisan concern about the diplomatic competence of the American delegation.
