Possible Witkoff visit to Tehran is an opportunity, lawmaker says

The visit of Steve Witkoff to Tehran could recalibrate how both he and Donald Trump perceive Iran, said Abolfazl Zohrevand, a member of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee.

“If Witkoff visits Iran and sees the reality for himself, it may reset his mindset—and through him, Trump’s—for more rational decision-making on how to deal with Iran,” he said.

Zohrevand called the visit beneficial to Iran’s national interests if it aligns with a constructive negotiation path.

He dismissed prospects of future US investment in Iran as unrealistic while stressing that the priority is correcting what he called Washington’s miscalculations about Iran.
