Pompeo: Normalization deals tell Iran its influence is waning, isolation growing

“These agreements open up wonderful opportunities for commerce and economic development,” Pompeo says of the Abraham Accords.

“These agreements also tell malign actors like the Islamic Republic of Iran that their influence in the region is waning and that they are ever more isolated in this and shall forever be until they change their direction.

“They also advance religious freedom. Muslims will be able to more easily pray at the Al-Aqsa Mosque thanks to the new flights through Abu Dhabi and Manama.”
