Valin Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Washington Free Beacon Nic Rowan May 21, 2019 Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a Tuesday interview that the United States will not allow Iran "to hide behind its proxy forces" in its offenses against American interests in the Middle East. "We've made clear that we will not allow Iran to hide behind its proxy forces," Pompeo said on the Hugh Hewitt show. "But if American interests are attacked, whether by Iran directly or through its proxy forces, we will respond in an appropriate way against Iran." Pompeo said that the main threat that Iran poses to the United States in the region is its "underwriting of these proxy forces." This includes any moves by Iran to destabilize the United States's anti-Iran strategy, Pompeo told Hewitt. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
