Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in an interview with Fox News today (June 12 Beijing time), "A piece of paper is basically worthless... nothing short of major military action can accomplish the mission in Iran."
[Clever] Commenting briefly: Pompeo's views do not align with Trump's. From current indications, Trump does not want to launch a full-scale war against Iran. At this moment, the former secretary is stepping forward advocating that only military force can solve the problem. His claim that "paper agreements are worthless" reflects a typical hawkish mindset, directly contradicting Trump's current strategy of "maximum pressure without war." The businessman-turned-president is still calculating the cost of war, while Pompeo is rushing to hand over the knife. This performance is less strategic advice and more akin to a desperate political figure's provocative rant.
