Pompeo Says U.S. to 'Crush Hizbullah Operatives' around the World
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday vowed that Washington will “crush” whom he called Hizbullah's operatives around the world, as he issued a steep list of demands that he said should be included in a nuclear treaty with Iran to replace the Obama-era deal.
"We will track down Iranian operatives and their Hizbullah proxies operating around the world and crush them," Pompeo said.
Pompeo also demanded that Iran cease from a range of activities throughout the Middle East that have long drawn the ire of the U.S. and its allies. He said Iran must halt support for its Hizbullah, stop threatening Israel, end support for Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen and "withdraw all forces" from Syria.
