In Saudi Arabia, Pompeo says Iran ‘destabilizes entire region’
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is using the Middle East leg of his first trip abroad as America’s top diplomat to call for concerted international action to punish Iran for its missile programs.
“Iran destabilizes this entire region,” Pompeo says in brief remarks to journalists with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, taking no questions.
Al-Jubeir says the kingdom “supports the policy of the Trump administration against Iran and to improve the terms of the nuclear agreement with Iran.”
