[108827] Mike Pompeo: Iran will not uphold agreements, it must be proven wrong

Sharp criticism of Iran by Mike Pompeo

Former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a sharp statement today (July 2, 2026) against the regime in Iran, out of concern that the Islamic Republic will not honor the terms of the memorandum or the various agreements currently on the agenda.

According to Pompeo, as published in 301 News Arab World, "Iran should not be expected to meet the terms of the agreement, because the Islamic Republic never keeps its promises." Pompeo, known for his hawkish positions toward Iran, added that the leadership in Tehran acts under a mistaken perception that "they hold leverage against the United States."

360 News | All the News also reported on the matter, highlighting Pompeo's operative message: Washington must act decisively to "prove the opposite" to the Iranians and neutralize the illusion of their leverage.

Both channels, which present a line identified with criticism of Iranian policy, presented Pompeo's words as a wake-up call for the American administration, emphasizing the inherent unreliability of the Iranian side in international negotiations.
