(VOA News) Michael Lipin - Brian Hook, the new U.S. special representative for Iran, says his team will focus most of its work on changing Tehran's behavior on issues of nuclear weapons, terrorism and detention of Americans. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday announced Hook's appointment to head a new U.S. team known as the Iran Action Group. Hook said the group would work to pursue changes in 12 aspects of Iran's behavior as outlined by Pompeo in May. Pompeo said the U.S. hoped it could reach a new agreement with Iran "one day soon. But we must see major changes in the [Iranian] regime's behavior, both inside and outside of its borders."
