ANKARA: Iran said today US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech against Iran’s clerical rulers was an interference in its affairs, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
“Pompeo’s speech on Sunday was a clear interference in Iran’s state matters…such policies will unite Iranians who will overcome plots against their country,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said.
Pompeo yesterday denounced Iran’s leaders as a “mafia” and promised unspecified backing for Iranians unhappy with their government.
