Pompeo Says Any Actions by Trump in Iran Will Be 'Lawful'
Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said there was no skepticism within the Trump administration about the intelligence behind the decision to kill a top Iranian general last week, and that any moves taken by the U.S. against Tehran will be “lawful.”
“We’ll behave inside the system,” Pompeo said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, one of several appearances on political talk shows.
On CNN’s “State of the Union,” Pompeo was pressed about administration claims that an attack orchestrated by Soleimani against U.S. interests had been “imminent” --
It was “not relevant” whether such an attack was days or weeks away, Pompeo said, adding that the U.S. needed to protect its intelligence “sources and methods.”
Pompeo was asked about Trump’s threat on Saturday to hit “52 Iranian sites,” including cultural targets, if Tehran retaliates for Soleimani’s killing, as it has promised. The tweet raised concerns because attacks against cultural property are prohibited under the Geneva Convention. “I’ve seen what we’re planning,” Pompeo said on ABC. Every target “is lawful.”
