White House says ex-Secretary of State Pompeo should ‘shut his stupid mouth’ on Iran
“He should shut his stupid mouth and leave the real work to the professionals. He’s not read into anything that’s happening, so how would he know.” Cheung’s social media post came in response to criticism from Pompeo comparing the emerging deal to one that would have been negotiated by Obama-era officials. The Trump administration withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama team and have frequently criticized that agreement.
