Secretary of State Pompeo asserted that European governments, “like others in the Middle East – indeed, all around the world – are facing facts and recognising that Iran is the aggressor in the Middle East, not the aggrieved. The more Iran lashes out… the greater our pressure will be”. “All we’re looking for, simply, is the Iranian people to have the peace and brighter future that we’ve been working on since this administration took office”, Pompeo added.
