Secretary of State Mike Pompeo argued that “Iranians had lied once again. They told the world that they didn’t have a military program that was involved in missiles and satellites, and yesterday the IRGC, the cutting edge of the Iranian military, announced that they had launched a satellite into low Earth orbit”. “What we intend to do is to gather the nations across the world”, Pompeo asserted. “The community of nations needs to come together and convince the Iranian regime to cease their activity”. He went on to say that “we’ve put real pressure on the regime. We continue to do that. We have to deny them the resources to conduct the activities that you saw them undertake”.
