Secretary Pompeo, responding to the question "does there have to be regime change in Tehran", replied "no. What there needs to be is behaviour that is like a normal country". He went on to indicate that "what we're demanding from the Islamic Republic of Iran is very simple: don't build nuclear weapons, don't continue your nuclear program, cease the terror campaigns, stop assassination efforts, behave like a normal country, and then you can live in your country in the way that the people of Iran... who are smart and capable and want something different from this, will get us all to the right place".
