In a recent Fox News interview<\/a>, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a stark warning about the escalating nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime. He emphasized the urgency of preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons, asserting that the regime\u2019s ambitions are driven by desperation and vulnerability rather than strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must ensure the Iranian regime never acquires a nuclear weapon,\u201d Pompeo said firmly. He warned of the dire consequences for global security if Iran succeeds: \u201cThere will be massive proliferation\u2014more countries will decide to get a nuclear weapon. This cannot be permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pompeo highlighted the regime\u2019s weakened state, citing setbacks in 2023, including economic struggles and reduced influence among its proxy networks. He criticized the current administration\u2019s approach, stating, \u201cThey\u2019ve never negotiated; they\u2019ve always understood that power was the most important thing.\u201d Pompeo underscored the need for decisive leadership, expressing confidence in the incoming administration\u2019s ability to restore effective pressure:<\/p>\n

“President Trump will deliver a policy that puts more pressure on the regime, gives the Iranian people an opportunity for freedom and liberty, and protects America in a way that always puts our country first.\u201d<\/p>\n
