The world should return to the policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran in order to turn it into a more democratic country, said the future special representative of US President-elect Donald Trump to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, at the event of the Iranian opposition on January 11 in Paris, writes Reuters.

"This pressure is not only kinetic, it is not just military power, but it must also be economic and diplomatic," the agency quoted Kellogg as saying.
