US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Europeans Thursday of having done nothing to counter Iran's program to develop ballistic missiles.

"The Europeans have told us ... that they are prepared to engage on missiles, and for three years did nothing," Pompeo told a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Likewise, he said, European governments haven't done anything in support of the US campaign labelling Iran the world's leading sponsor of terror. "They talked about agreeing to things on terror," Pompeo said, but did nothing.

President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that the United States was withdrawing from the Iran nuclear accord, calling its requirements on Tehran too weak.

4. More Making it Up from the Uninformed

Pompeo really has no idea what Europeans have or haven’t done about this. Did he every think of asking them? No he is just ramping up the hate and the tension so the Neocons can start a war to distract from Trump’s crimes.
