INU - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech at the Ronald Reagan Library on July 22nd, was addressed very specifically. He said, “Regime leaders — especially those at the top of the IRGC and the Quds Force like Qasem Soleimani — must be made to feel painful consequences of their bad decision making. We are asking every nation, every nation who is sick and tired of the Islamic Republic’s destructive behavior, to join our pressure campaign.

Ever since Donald Trump pulled the US out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, otherwise known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the US has been warning its allies and even some neutral countries about the importance of ending their reliance on Iranian oil before the November deadline when US sanctions will snap back into place.
