Days after he listed out a set of 12 demands to Iranian regime including giving up its nuclear weapons ambition, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said meeting these “simple requirements” would benefit the Iranian people to an enormous extent.
In his first major foreign policy speech, Pompeo demanded that Iran give up its nuclear weapons ambition, stop its alleged destabilising behaviour in the region, and stop uranium enrichment, among other demands. He also sought the support of European allies.
“These are a set of simple requirements that the Iranian regime could quite easily comply with, and it would benefit the Iranian people to an enormous extent,” Pompeo told reporters at a State Department news conference yesterday.
