Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the people of Iran are likely in confusion about who their leaders are now that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other "former senior leaders are all gone."
Pompeo made the statement during a Sunday morning appearance on Fox News,
"Multiple layers of leadership have vanished. They don't know who they can trust. They don't know who they can rely upon, but they knew this day might well come, and the Iranian leadership prepared for this," Pompeo said.
"They had a structure that said if the following folks are gone, here's how we will operate," he continued. "And you can see they're still launching counterstrikes, still capable of organizing. This is not remotely over."
"We don't know the name of who's in charge, but I'm confident that between the United States and Israel we still have a sense of who's calling the shots," he added.
