DW: Secretary fo State Mike Pompeo kicks off Mideast tour in pursuit of new Iran sanctions
US Secretary of State Pompeo is in the Middle East to gain support from Saudi Arabia for new sanctions on Tehran. President Trump has vowed to take action after labeling the Iran nuclear agreement the "worst deal ever."
Barely two days after being sworn in as the new US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo arrived in Saudi Arabia on Saturday to urge support for a new plan to restrain Iran's military clout in the region.
The Middle East visit, which will also take in Israel and Jordan, aims to muster support for new sanctions against Tehran or the renegotiation of a landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers, including the United States, to limit Iran's nuclear program.
Washington's top diplomat was due to meet with the Saudi king, crown prince and foreign minister later on Sunday.
