US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo takes part in the 11th Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council in Rovaniemi, Finland, Tuesday May 7, 2019.
Pompeo would not be specific about the more recent threat information involving Iran, but said he would make the point in his meetings in Baghdad that any attack by Iran or its proxies on American forces in Iraq would affect the Iraqi government too. But Iraq is also tightly enmeshed with Iran in trade, security and political matters, and it has been loath to antagonize its larger neighbor. Iran won the ear of many top Iraqi politicians after it stepped in to fill the political vacuum following the 2003 U.S. invasion. It also can count on the loyalty of several powerful Iraqi militias, which have fought previously against U.S. forces in the country and on the side of Iran’s allies in Syria in that country’s civil war.
Iran was always next to be the target for the USA after Iraq Syria and Libya. They don't give the LikudParty all that money for nothing after all!
And this is what happens when you do whatever a Wahhabi dictatorship says for foreign policy
Da like we didn’t know that
lacunalingua Oh great, to distract from the GOP and 45s increasing lawlessness a war will start against Iran. Just great, and soon enough the GOP will declare martial law in USA and 45 will extend his dictatorship
He probably thought Baghdad was in Iran.
He needs to put in place the false reasons to go to war.
Nice distraction. Don't fall for it America!
It's going to cost a lot of lives and money if they keep on going.
Does Pompeo think people are stupid other than Trump’s base, that the Shia leaders in Iraq need US protection from a Shia country Iran? It’s American policy to try a ethnic divide amongst Muslims in the Middle East.
let him stay there..and send bolton as well WarMonger
JonLemire Breaking news! Donald Trump and Mike Pompeo try their best to start a war against Iran, so everyone will stop talking about the Mueller report!
There y’all go liberal media; he didn’t sneak away on a vacation
The poor plane will be lucky to get off the ground.
Like a hoodlum American Secretary of State goes unannounced. He’s the epitome of presidency in chaos. MuellerTime
JonLemire These assholes have wanted a war with Iran for years, plus it takes attention from Mueller report
My grandson is on his first tour of duty on USS Lincoln now in the Gulf ... I really wish those warmongers Bolton and Pompeo would shut there mouths and stay out of it, we don't need another war.
We’re going to war again for no good reason
JonLemire Who cares? It’s one side show after another to distract from a failed presidency.
Pompeo and Bolton are creating fake fears based on faulty intelligence to go to war, supported by Saudi and Israel, This is a criminal act unfolding and world is silent, shame on the UN, EU, Russia, China, Brazil et al
JonLemire When did Arby's open its Baghdad location?
Wag the dog.
Maybe he’s just looking at real estate 🤷♂️ CENTURY21
Iraq is governed by Shia n a client state of Iran US army armored trucks from Iraq n UAE went to Irans
Stop the endless war in the middle east.
Lmao, we’ll stop sponsoring terrorism in the Middle East, Europe and the US and America wouldn’t be in this situation. When a country is going rogue, you must put it back in its place.
This is what a responsible Sec of State does, makes sure our troops are safe, not cowers at home while they are murdered by terrorists. Think about it Hillary.
He gonna try to convince the Iraqis to to be the staging country. Probably won’t happen.
Watch out when Fred gets home, Wilma
'Stepped-up' by, say, US Cabinet Secretaries making sudden, unannounced visits to Iraq?
Ok we finally find you a down a Iraq you went
More 'weapons of mass destruction' that US needs to stop. Senseless murder the motto of American military
And still no Secretary of Defense.
. WagTheDog PUTINtrump2020 MAGA = ManipulatingAmericasGullibleAspirants GOP = GobblingOrangePoop .
translation: he's doing everything he can to go to war in the endless war of the middle East.
Prepare for war with Iran
European imperialism is all but dead in Europe, but America stubbornly clings to the role like a child who grew up after the glory days were finished.
What a DumbShit
A Russian backed move?
