Pompeo refuses to say if Iran oil waivers being reviewed
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, being grilled by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, deflects questions about discontinuing oil waivers on Iran sanctions in light of Israeli revelations about Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Pompeo says European and Asian banks’ “world changed” when the US labeled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terror group this week.
He says the move will “deny them the resources” to carry out terror campaigns.
