According to The New York Times, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have emerged as pivotal figures at a time when the positions of U.S. ambassador to Moscow and Kyiv are both vacant. They are involved in managing the Ukraine war crisis, yet their focus is on Iran. This situation underscores the complex dynamics of U.S. foreign policy, where high-level diplomats without official titles play significant roles. Witkoff and Kushner, known for their close ties to former President Donald Trump, leverage their networks to influence decisions. As the war in Ukraine intensifies, their shift in focus to Iran indicates a strategic reorientation by the United States.
