Pompeo warns of ‘decisive US response’ if Iran harms US troops or allies
By: Shawn Snow   

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Iran and its leaders Friday of a “decisive U.S. response” if the regime or its militias harm American troops or allies in the region.

“We must also use this opportunity to remind Iran’s leaders that any attacks by them, or their proxies of any identity, that harm Americans, our allies, or our interests will be answered with a decisive U.S. response,” Pompeo said in a statement on Friday.

Pompeo also fingered Iranian-backed militias as being responsible for the Dec. 9 and Dec. 11 rocket attacks near Baghdad International Airport.
