Pompeo says Biden moves on Iran, Houthis precursors to re-entering 'crazy, crappy' nuclear deal
Fox News
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Saturday that the Biden administration's moves to drop a sanctions push on Iran and revoke a terrorist declaration on Iran-backed Houthis were precursors to re-entering what he described as the "crazy, crappy" 2015 nuclear deal.
The Trump administration had sought to snapback the sanctions, but had seen opposition from the U.N. Security Council, which argued that since the U.S. had left the 2015 Iran deal, it could not use the mechanism. The Biden administration recently said it was abandoning that push. "Our idea there was we shouldn't allow Iran to buy and sell weapons in the open market, purchase Russian and Chinese technology and high end military equipment," Pompeo told Fox. "I can't understand why for the life of me any administration would think that was a good idea."More Related News
