Former President Donald Trump's son-in-law and ex-White House adviser Jared Kushner praised the Joe Biden administration's Iranian policies, noting that it provides an opportunity to bring peace to the Middle East.

Kushner's views in an article for The Wall Street Journal are surprising given Trump's repeated criticism of the Iran deal.

"While many were troubled by the Biden team’s opening offer to work with Europe and rejoin the Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, I saw it as a smart diplomatic move," Kushner noted. "The Biden administration called Iran’s bluff. It revealed to the Europeans that the JCPOA is dead and only a new framework can bring stability for the future."

According to him, Trump has laid the foundation for improving relations between the United States and Iran.

"Mr. Trump has said that Iran has never won a war but never lost a negotiation. This negotiation is high-stakes and, thanks to his policies, America holds a strong hand," he added. "Iran is feigning strength, but its economic situation is dire and it has no ability to sustain conflict or survive indefinitely under current sanctions."
