Secretary Pompeo indicated that "the sanctions get a lot of headlines. The policy that President Trump has put in place is much broader than that... there's a lot of work being done on interdiction... it's a full range of things to do the simple task of convincing the Iranian leaders to behave like a normal nation". Pompeo went on to identify Beirut, Damascus, Sanaa, Baghdad and Tehran as "pressure points" where the U.S. is "pushing back... with every tool available to the U.S. government".
