U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated on Thursday that the United States is working to form a coalition aimed at deterring Iran following attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities, while emphasizing the goal of a peaceful resolution.
"We are still striving to build out a coalition in an act of diplomacy while the foreign minister of Iran is threatening all out war and to fight to the last American, we're here to build up a coalition aimed at achieving peace," Pompeo told reporters after meeting Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.
Pompeo highlighted the U.S. commitment to diplomacy even as tensions rise, contrasting the United States’ peaceful coalition efforts with aggressive rhetoric coming from Iran's leadership.
Public comments on this topic are encouraged to remain respectful and avoid any offensive or discriminatory language, supporting constructive dialogue.
