Iran's Zarif on Pompeo: US brings chaos where it interferes

Iran's foreign minister mocked U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech on Thursday in which he said "when America retreats, chaos follows," by asserting the opposite was true.

"Whenever/wherever US interferes, chaos, repression and resentment follow," Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote on Twitter.

"The day Iran mimics US clients & @SecPompeo's 'human rights models' — be it the Shah or current butchers — to become a 'normal' country is the day hell freezes over. Best for the US to just get over loss of Iran."
