Mike Pompeo to unveil 'comprehensive' new Iran strategy

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will soon unveil “a comprehensive strategy toward Iran” in the wake of the U.S. exit from the 2015 nuclear deal, the State Department announced Friday.

Pompeo will outline the plan in a Monday speech intended to rally European allies around the idea of using sanctions to force Iran into new negotiations over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs. But that “new security architecture” will be built with an eye toward defending against the regime’s involvement in two civil wars and support for terrorism.
