Pompeo Warns Easing of Iran Sanctions Would be 'Dangerous Choice'

President-elect Biden said he will rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal scuttled by the Trump administration, releasing Iran's economy from a crushing blacklist. Current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that unwinding on the sanctions placed on Iran would be a dangerous choice, obviously referring to President-elect Biden's plan to rejoin the nuclear deal. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo believes the Trump administration's policies on Iran have been effective, so much in fact that he promised more sanctions in the final weeks of Trump's administration. The decision to leave the deal by the Trump administration was opposed by many key European allies. Mr. Pompeo says the focus on the policy was to deprive the Iran regime of funds that it would have used for its "malign activities".
