Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to meet with U.S. military commanders overseeing American forces in the Middle East after promising to provide more proof thatPompeo is scheduled to fly on Monday to U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Florida, amid mounting tensions with Iran following the attacks on the two commercial ships last week in the Gulf of Oman, which the Trump administration has blamed on Iran.
"This is an international challenge," Pompeo said on Fox News."This is important to the entire globe. The United States is going to make sure that we take all actions necessary, diplomatic and otherwise, to achieve that outcome." Both vessels were carrying oil products. One ship was Norwegian-owned and the other was Japanese-owned.
But Pompeo rejected suggestions that the U.S. assessment was in doubt."The German foreign minister has seen a great deal more than just that video," Pompeo said on CBS."He will continue to see more."Iran is under growing economic pressure after the Trump administration imposed a global embargo on Tehran's oil exports.
The nuclear accord imposed limits on Iran's atomic program designed to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons in return for lifting international and some U.S. sanctions. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement last year but European governments have urged Iran to abide by the deal.
