Iran Is ‘Willing to Fight to the Last Houthi’ to Target US Interests in Middle East, Pompeo Says

‘Every missile, every rocket that’s fired on an American is an Iranian-made, Iranian intellectual property or Iranian-trained soldier,’ Mr. Pompeo said.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says U.S. forces need to take more actions against Iran because the Tehran regime will continue to target American interests in the Middle East.

The former Trump administration official said the recent U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen are “a serious response” but need to target the real actor behind the group, he told Fox News in an interview on Jan. 12.
