Pompeo blasts Iran as ‘at odds with world peace’
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calls on countries to cut off Iran’s finances and says the Islamic Republic is “at odds with world peace.”
Writing on Twitter, Pompeo also accuses Iran’s leaders of oppressing their own citizens and sponsoring terrorism worldwide.
The tweet from Pompeo comes a day after US President Donald Trump reimposed sanctions on Iran as part of his withdrawal from the international agreement to limit the country’s nuclear program. Trump said the move was aimed at achieving “WORLD PEACE.”
Today, the regime in #Iran is at odds with world peace. We urge our allies and partners to join the U.S. and deny Iran’s leadership the funds to oppress the Iranian people and to foment terrorism around the world.
