Against Iran, Mike Pompeo pushes for an Arab NATO

The US secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Thursday promoted the project of a military alliance between Arab allies in the United States, allowing them to reduce their costs in the region.

Hunt the Iranian regime after eliminating ISIS terrorism. Thus we can summarize the US strategy in the Middle East, as exposed Thursday afternoon by the US Secretary of State. The culmination of his ten-day tour of eight countries in the region, Mike Pompeo delivered to the American University in Cairo a "frank and direct speech of former soldier", as he recalled. True to the Trump administration's obsession with denouncing the Obama presidency, the US chief of diplomacy began by referring to the former president's Cairo speech in 2009 to underline his renunciation. The "real" new beginning "is now," said Pompeo, using an expression used by Obama ten years ago.

In a skilful exercise of consistency of Donald Trump's policy in the Middle East, the Secretary of State affirmed that the era of "American selfish politics is over," arguing that its president is "a force of good In the region".

Denying even the contradictions of recent days on the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, Mike Pompeo repeated in Cairo, as he had done the day before in Amman, Jordan, that the decision to withdraw was not questioned but that the fight against the Islamic State continues. However, he did not mention a timetable.
