Pompeo says Iran's threat is very real

US Secretary of State said on Tuesday (January 22) that the threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iranian regime) is very real.

Mike Pompeo, making wide-ranging remarks by video to the annual Davos summit of big business, also said that the Iranian regime is a malign actor in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon. 

"The threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran is very real. You mentioned Yemen, you mentioned Syria. Think you talked about the challenges of Lebanese Hezbollah in Lebanon. It's still the case that Iran is striving to reduce Iraqi freedom, sovereignty and independence. Those are places where Iran is truly the malign actor and that's why we're so happy that the coalition that we've built out -- and we'll have a ministerial in Warsaw in the middle of next month to talk about this and other issues in the Middle East -- is so central to creating the stability that the people of the Middle East so richly deserve. There are diplomatic and political solutions to most of these problems and we need all of our diplomats from all across the region working to solve them".
