Sec. Mike Pompeo: by any means necessary. A conversation with Gadi Taub and Mike Doran.

Sec Pompeo: "We were prepared to use everything the United States had to make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon."

US policy towards the Middle East under the previous administration was based on 3 central assumptions: 1. Iran is the destabilizing force; 2. We weren't prepared to continue a 40 year of bi-partisan policy which gave the Palestinians a veto; 3. We need to maintain military capacity to prevent terrorists from operating in the region.

And more: on Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and China too.
