PNN – The special envoy of Trump to Syria admitted that the United States’ efforts to change the system in Iran have failed.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, reporting from Sputnik, Tom Barrack, Trump’s special envoy to Syria, said in an interview with *The National* that Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, do not support any process aimed at regime change in Iran, but rather seek to achieve regional solutions.
Admitting to the U.S. interventionist attempts in Iran, he said that Washington tried twice to change the system in Iran and failed. Barrack stated that such matters should be left to the countries of the region and that such an approach would be more reasonable.

Barrack claimed that the U.S. government is inclined to reach an agreement with Tehran. At the same time, he set preconditions for an agreement with Iran, saying that Tehran must show seriousness and stop supporting its regional forces.
Regarding Syria, he said that the United States sees a real opportunity for an agreement between Damascus and the Israeli regime over borders and safe zones and, after that, moving toward normalization of relations.
Barrack added that the Iraq experience is one of America’s failed experiences and should not be repeated. Intervention in that country ended with the killing of hundreds of thousands of people and the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Washington implemented a federal model in Iraq—one central government in Baghdad and a Kurdish system in an oil-rich region. These actions led to fragmentation just as happened in the former Yugoslavia. The United States spent three trillion dollars and was engaged for 20 years in a historically disastrous period but achieved no results.
He said that after the developments that occurred in the region concerning Hezbollah, Hamas, and Yemen, Iran is demonstrating strong resistance regarding Iraq.
