Exclusive – Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo It is said that last weekend, the U.S. military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities signaled the world.
Pompeo, former director of the CIA and later a top diplomat for the U.S. president Donald Trump’s The First Government said in a national exclusive interview with Fox News Digital that the attack conveyed a message that “the United States re-leads the world.”
Whatever the debate this week about the president’s attack on “eliminating” Iran’s ability to obtain nuclear weapons, Pompei said, “has done enough damage” and as a result, “Americans are safer.”

Pompei warned: “There are certainly some risks. Iranians can decide to do something secret, or here or other horror cells. But there is no doubt what President Trump did before him, what the Israelis did before him, not only make the region, the Gulf and Israel safer, they make the United States and the West safer.”
Praise the Trump administration for Strike Iran, Pompei noted: “I think they are almost perfect.

He said the United States is now closer to “we have this risk that you will have an Ayatollah, the theocracy, a thug, and the ability to build a nuclear weapons program.”

Pompei pointed to the strike against Iran, telling Fox News that the U.S. deterrence against global top rivals “has increased due to what happened in the Middle East. It’s undoubtedly true.”
Pompei also called on the left and right to send isolationists to abandon global leadership in his speeches and interviews.
“My own party and the left think that there is nothing important in the world for American leaders, and the hard work the United States of America has done to ensure the safety of our people is not worth it,” he said.
Part of his message is “the absent American leadership in the world, we are not much safer.”
