Pompeo Claims ‘No Sanctions’ Are Preventing Humanitarian Assistance to Iran
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said at a Wednesday press conference that US sanctions had not prevented humanitarian assistance from reaching Iran.
"We've offered from the first day we knew that the virus had struck the people of Iran, we offered humanitarian assistance," Pompeo said on Wednesday at a White House press conference.
"I regret that they chose not to take that. I've heard people talking about sanctions, the world should know there are no sanctions that prevent humanitarian assistance, medical supplies, pharmaceudicals, from going to Iran. We offered American assistance, we tried to help other countries get assistance in there as well. We've had some ability to do that," Pompeo said.
