Pompeo defends Iran war as "necessity," advocates for regime change

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended the Trump administration's war against Iran, calling it a "war of necessity" rather than choice. "We have been at war with the Iranians for decades," Pompeo stated, rejecting criticism from within the Republican Party. He argued Iran must be prevented from becoming "like North Korea—impenetrable and unattackable," noting that unlike Kim Jong Un, "the Iranians would have behaved completely differently if they had a nuclear program like Kim's." Pompeo expressed confidence that "regime change in Iran is achievable."
