Pompeo Slams Iran Nuclear Deal, Describes Path Forward (The Washington Free Beacon)

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed the Iran nuclear deal on Monday, describing a new course of action for the United States.

Pompeo spoke at the Heritage Foundation about Iran's nuclear program following President Donald Trump's decision to pull the United States out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 nuclear deal the Obama administration negotiated with China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, the European Union, and Iran.

Pompeo said the U.S. would be imposing new sanctions on Iran and they would be the toughest yet, noting Iran's Revolutionary Guard became wealthy when the deal was put in place and sanctions were eased.
