Former secretary of state Mike Pompeo is calling on the Biden administration to deny Iran's president a visa to enter the United States and attend U.N. ceremonies next month, citing Tehran's active plots to assassinate him and other top U.S. officials.
Pompeo, one of the main targets of Iran's assassination campaign, told in his first public comments on the matter that Biden is setting a dangerous precedent allowing Iranian president Raisi into America weeks after Iran threatened to "turn New York into ruins and hell" with an intercontinental ballistic missile strike.
"We worked four years to deny Iranian terrorists to put Americans at risk," Pompeo said. "This administration allows them to visit New York while actively engaged in efforts to kill Americans on U.S. soil. The Iranians recently sponsored an attack that was almost successful in killing an American.
