I think putting Witkoff and Kushner in charge of the middle east deals was one of he wisest thing Trump did. The normal political swamp creature diplomats would always try and avoid pissing off people and avoiding conflict, but W and JK know when someone is serious or just towing you along. John Kerry never had the balls or insight to call Irans bluff and tell them to shit or get off the pot.I was incredibly skeptical when he announced he was putting his goofy-ass son-in-law in charge of Middle East peace, but he actually accomplished a lot there.
Both were involved in NYC real estate deals for years where you need sharp elbows. Witkoff worked as an attorney for a while. A major part of the reason why were fighting this war with conventional weapons and not nuclear warheads is because they were able to gauge that Iran was not serious. Having that outsider perspective of diplomacy but still bringing their dealmaking experience prevented us from dealing with a far more dangerous Iran.
