Iran - Pompeo on plane crash, new sanctions and 'imminent' Soleimani attack
An attack by Iran on US forces by Qasem Soleimani was "imminent." That was the claim made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier. The US has imposed new sanctions on Iran after its missile attack on American forces in Iraq. The targets included Iran's manufacturing, mining and textile sectors as well as senior Iranian officials. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the move at a joint news conference. In a separate development Pompeo spoke about the recent Ukrainian plane crash and said it was "likely that plane was shot down by an Iranian missile." https://www.the-sun.com/news/238214/t... Iran has used bulldozers to clear debris from the plane crash site while slamming the “big lie” that they shot it down. The Ukrainian passenger jet came down hours after Tehran launched a barrage of rockets against US targets in Iraq – leading to fears jittery air defence troops targeted it by mistake. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1071175... Iran is just “one or two years” away from developing its own nuclear weapons, France's top diplomat has warned. Jean-Yves Le Drian issued the chilling statement today ahead of an emergency meeting of EU foreign ministers, claiming if the regime continued violating the 2015 deal restricting its weapons programme it could become a nuclear power. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1071284...
