Pompeo arrived in London after an unannounced visit to Iraq where he explained U.S. security concerns amid rising Iranian activity. “The message that we’ve sent to the Iranians, I hope, puts us in a position where we can deter and the Iranians will think twice about attacking American interests,” Pompeo said, noting that U.S. intelligence was “very specific” about “attacks that were imminent.”
In London, Pompeo will meet Prime Minister Theresa May who is grappling with a three-year political crisis over the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. He will also meet Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
