Mike Pompeo Just Hinted War Against Iran, Vows To ‘Crush Them’

The reason behind Donald Trump’s pulling of the Iran nuclear deal has now become clear. The president is itching for a war to change the subject from the Russia investigation.

On Monday, Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unveiled the president’s new policy on Iran by vowing to “crush” the oil-rich country with economic and military pressure unless it changes “its behavior,” CNN reports.

Pompeo’s announcement comes just weeks after Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal.

Speaking at the Heritage Foundation —a right-wing think tank— Pompeo declared that “sanctions are going back in full effect, and new ones are coming.”

“We will track down Iranian operatives and their Hezbollah proxies operating around the world and crush them,” Pompeo said, according to CNN. “Iran will never again have carte blanche to dominate the Middle East.”

He added: “The Iranian regime should know this is just the beginning,” the News Network reported.

Channeling President Trump’s criticism of the Iranian deal, Pompeo blasted the Obama administration for pursuing it.

“Strategically, the Obama administration made a bet that the deal would spur Iran to stop its rogue-state actions and conform to international norms,” said Pompeo. “That bet was a loser with massive repercussions for all people living in the Middle East.”

“We will ensure Iran has no possible path to a nuclear weapon — ever,” Pompeo said in the speech.
