However, broader U.S. sanctions deter many firms from humanitarian trade with Iran, one of the nations hardest hit by the coronavirus epidemic. Washington is pursuing a “maximum pressure” policy to try to force Tehran to curb its nuclear, missile and regional activities. Jon Alterman, a Middle East analyst at Washington’s CSIS think tank, said Pompeo’s shift in tone might be a response to the European move.

No keep that sanctions hold the line

We'll see!

God Bless you Pompeo. Stay safe!

GOP, Pompeo, Cotton & the lying, fake Christians aren't really prolife! It's just more REPUNGNANTCAN 🐂💩!

I just wonder if the shoe was on the other foot would they help United States citizens. What does the world think🤔

No way more sanctions, the only reason this is a story is the price of oil and they are finally suffering the fate of nasty ugly brutal people when there citizens are willing to do what almost every free nation had to do to get freedom then we should listen.

Wow you decide who lives or dies. God bless America..

Sanctions have led to food and economic insecurity without the corona virus.

THERE'S NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT. WE OWE THEM NOTHING! BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HERE NEED HELP. OH LETS SAY THE HOMELESS VETERANS AND LEGAL CITIZENS. WE ARE TIRED OF OUR MONEY GOING TO POLITICIANS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. AMERICANS FIRST. POLITICIANS SECOND. THEN HELP THEM

About fucking time! Maybe also 'rethink' your barbaric imperialist sanctions on Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, Myanmar, North Korea, Zimbabwe and Sudan!

Pompeo and Trump didn't miss a meal snatched from Persia

Pompeo always reminds me of a leftover extra from 'The Sopranos'

Oh I bet they rethink Russian sanctions first. TRUMPUTIN

could rethink.. is there a term to describe when a politician used double vauge and uncomitted words to convey an action?

Good, hope this can bring countries closer and develop some sort of trust. Please don’t let the people suffer for their government.

This guy is repugnant.

Shut up
