LONDON: The US has emphasized the need to confront Iranian threats in the region, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday.
Pompeo also said that the international community should hold the Iranian regime accountable for its crimes.
Earlier on Wednesday, Pompeo tweeted urging the world to “reject and condemn Khamenei’s ideology of hatred.”
Referring to the Iranian Supreme Leader’s comments regarding the UAE’s “betrayal” of the Muslim world and Palestine, Pompeo said that whilst “The children of Abraham - Muslims, Christians, and Jews - rejoice at the prospect of peace,” Khamenei is calling for more violence.
