In a notable shift in U.S.-Iran relations, President Trump is reportedly considering a diplomatic approach towards Iran, appointing Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to oversee the Iran portfolio. This strategy contrasts with Trump’s previous “maximum pressure” policy following the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear agreement in 2018. Witkoff’s experience in negotiating ceasefires may aid future talks, as Iran expresses openness to negotiations contingent on U.S. compliance with agreements. Despite some hardliners remaining in Trump’s inner circle, the appointment suggests a potential reevaluation of U.S. foreign policy regarding Iran, aiming to reduce military tensions in the region.

The Iranian government has summoned Poland’s chargé d’affaires in Tehran following anti-Iran statements by a senior Polish diplomat. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged an official protest against Polish foreign minister Marcin Wilczek’s remarks, amid rising tensions partly fueled by an Iranian drone wreckage displayed at the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This event aimed to promote an anti-Iran narrative, linking Iran-Russia cooperation to global threats. While the U.S. and EU have imposed sanctions on Iran for allegedly supplying drones to Russia in the Ukraine conflict, Iran denies these claims, asserting its right to sell drones like the Shahed model.
