Policy speech to be given on Monday
The newly ordained US Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo, will present a "diplomatic roadmap" on Iran during the first major policy speech to be given on Monday.
Some bullet points from a US official:
- US seeks new framework that will embrace totality of Iran threats
- The Iran Nuclear deal gave people a false sense of security. A new agreement needs to address totatity of Iranian threats and change that dynamic
- Iran has yet to come clean on the military dimensions of its nuclear programs
- We have a period of opportunity with our allies to try to come up with a new security architecture for Iran
- US very much wants to have an up-tempo diplomacy on Iran
