Tehran, SAEDNEWS, Dec. 20: “The outgoing Mr. #WeLiedCheatedStole is obsessing with Iran again. Reality: US regimes have long plotted coups & waged wars against Iranians and their neighbors. Countless have been killed. And most vulnerable Americans abused as cannon fodder. This is his regime's true nature,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a tweet on Saturday.
It came after Mike Pompeo in a tweet on Friday claimed that the United States has always sought peace with the people of Iran while the Islamic Republic has been “oppressing its nation and seeking conflict and violence against the West over the past 41 years” and said this is the country’s “true nature”.
During a lecture at Texas A&M University in April 2019, Pompeo shared a personal anecdote as “a bit of an aside” about how he came to defy his West Point honor code stating that “a cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”
He admitted, “I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. It was like we had entire training courses...it reminds you of the glory of the American experiment.” (Source: TASNIM).
