Zarif: Pompeo Ending Disastrous Career with Lies
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif derided his American counterpart as Mr. ‘we lie, cheat, steal’, saying Pompeo is ending his disastrous career with more warmongering lies.
“From designating Cuba to fictitious Iran ‘declassifications’ and AQ claims, Mr. ‘we lie, cheat, steal’ is pathetically ending his disastrous career with more warmongering lies,” Zarif said in a post on his Twitter account after the US designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism and accused Iran of links with al-Qaeda.
“No one is fooled. All 9/11 terrorists came from Pompeo's favorite ME destinations; NONE from Iran,” Zarif underlined.
In May 2020, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) accidentally disclosed the name of a Saudi diplomat suspected of directing support to two al-Qaeda hijackers in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US.
The mistake about the identity of the Saudi embassy official was made in a declaration by an FBI official in response to a lawsuit by families of 9/11 victims who accuse Saudi Arabia’s government of involvement in the attacks.
