Pompeo hits Biden over response to Iran threat: ‘Not even a deterrent’
Summary by Ground News
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized President Biden’s response to an expected Iran threat, saying the president has greenlit and not deterred the country from a retaliatory attack on Israel. Biden warned Friday that the Iran attack could happen over the weekend. When asked what his message for Iran is, Biden said “don’t.” Pompeo joined Fox News’s Martha MacCallum Friday where he criticized the response, saying it’s “really dangerous.” “Well, he said don’t multiple times and don’t isn’t a national security policy,” Pompeo said. “It’s not even a deterrent.” The former Secretary of State said the risk of an Iranian attack seems significant, as U.S. officials have sounded the alarm this week. Western intelligence has assessed that Israel is bracing for a major attack from Iran as a response to an April 1 attack on its embassy in Damascus, Syria. The suspected Israeli attack killed seven Iranian military advisers.
