President Donald Trump's claim that the drone strike last week made Americans safer is being challenging by cascading events that appear to leave the US more vulnerable and isolated.The administration's basis for the attack also came under renewed suspicion after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told CNN that it was not"relevant" for him to reveal how imminent the attacks on US interests were that Trump said Soleimani was planning.
The Secretary of State also improbably claimed that the Obama administration"kicked off" a war with Iran with its deal that froze Iran's enrichment activity and halted what the US says was a march towards a nuclear bomb."It told the Iranians that they had free rein to develop a Shia crescent that extended from Yemen to Iraq to Syria and into Lebanon, surrounding our ally Israel, and threatening American lives as well," Pompeo said.
