Behind the scenes of the negotiations in Istanbul, the most mysterious figure is undoubtedly Michael Anton. On the surface, he serves as the Director of the Political Planning Division at the U.S. Department of State, but according to most media outlets such as Politico and The National Interest, he is predicted to become the U.S. National Security Advisor.

Anton will do everything possible to push for a successful outcome of the negotiations - at least achieving a 30-day ceasefire. After all, this planner's personal political career is closely related to it.

Tammy Bruce, spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, revealed that the United States would be represented by Anton in the negotiations. Following this, Western media began to delve into Anton's resume.

Yahoo News has already referred to him as "the most interesting person in the White House." This official recently participated in the crucial U.S.-Iran negotiations and performed excellently. Now, he has been sent to the Ukrainian "frontline."

According to Al Jazeera, Anton is an intellectual and professional public relations expert. He has served as a speechwriter for media tycoons like Rupert Murdoch, New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, among others, accumulating rich experience.

Anton's career spans multiple fields, including working at banks and large investment companies such as Citigroup and BlackRock.

Anton began working in the White House during President George W. Bush's administration and served as the Press Secretary for the National Security Council (NSC) during Trump's first term.

He has been entrusted with the task of personally negotiating with Vladimir Medinsky, the leader of the Russian negotiation delegation. Perhaps, he will propose specific concessions that the United States is willing to make for lasting peace in Ukraine.

According to Politico magazine, citing two anonymous American officials, earlier this April, the Trump administration appointed Anton as the head of the U.S. delegation for nuclear talks with Iran, indicating his considerable reputation in the Middle East.

Anton is not only a politician but also a scholar, which is similar to Midenyetsky, who is both a writer and a commentator. Anton once served as a researcher at the conservative Claremont Institute, writing numerous analyses on U.S. and global political processes.

The National Interest points out that conservative lobbying groups are pushing for Anton to become Trump's National Security Advisor (equivalent to Russia's Secretary of the Security Council). A wave of support for his candidacy has swept across social media, with many current and former prominent senators expressing their approval.

The Weekly Standard reveals that Anton has been one of Trump's core ideological architects for years, tracing back to 2016.

In those days, Anton published a popular article under a pseudonym, calling on conservatives to set aside doubts and support the presidential candidate.

Some people call Anton a key architect of the "Trumpism" ideology, which began to take shape in 2016. Anton even claims that the term "Trumpism" was coined by himself.

Although there are earlier records mentioning the term, there is no doubt that Anton popularized this concept. As Yahoo News said, such PR strategies have largely contributed to Trump's electoral victory.

Anton's political views have similarities with Midenyetsky's: both talk about the "crisis of liberalism" in the West. Specifically, this U.S. official strongly opposes all so-called "political correctness," including sexual minorities, same-sex marriage, gender reassignment, and even the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

In addition, Anton firmly believes in a civilizational conflict between "Orthodox Islam" and Western social values.

The National Interest emphasizes that Anton's performance in negotiations with Iran and Russia will determine his political future. It is worth noting that he advocates negotiation over hardline approaches. For example, he has consistently opposed the absurd "exporting democracy" ideology, which has led to the U.S. involvement in numerous colonial wars. Unfortunately, he has yet to comment on halting arms supplies to the Kiev regime, but after the talks in Istanbul with the Ukrainian side, he may have to face this issue.
