Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo posted today: "President Trump has made more efforts to advance the prospects for peace in the Middle East than any previous U.S. president. But ultimately, only by defeating the Iranian regime can this lofty goal be achieved."
Comments: As Trump's former Secretary of State and a key architect behind the assassination of General Soleimani, Pompeo harbors deep animosity toward Iran. He vigorously praises Trump's Middle East policy while framing the overthrow of the Iranian regime as a prerequisite for regional peace. On one hand, this serves to cater to Israel and the hardline faction within the U.S. Republican Party, reinforcing the narrative that "Iran is the root cause of instability in the Middle East." On the other hand, it aims to continuously pressure Trump to maintain an extreme hardline stance amid the current intense confrontation between the U.S. and Iran, discouraging negotiations or compromises with Tehran. The situation in the Middle East is deeply complex, with longstanding sectarian tensions, territorial disputes, and resource conflicts. Blaming Iran alone for all regional unrest is utterly absurd.
