Pompeo: Iran Regime "On the Ropes," Urges Final Push

Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the government of Iran is close to collapse. He argues that American policies under former President Donald Trump have pushed it to the brink. Pompeo cites major setbacks for Iran. These include military defeats for its allied groups and a severe economic crisis inside the country. He claims these are clear signs the Islamic Republic could fall soon. In a recent statement, Pompeo called for continued pressure. He urged both the U.S. and the Iranian people to "finish the job" of toppling the current leadership. The Iranian government has not publicly responded to Pompeo's latest comments. It has long blamed U.S. sanctions for its economic problems.
