US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s offer for an interview with Iran’s state TV has been met with positive reaction of a number of Iranian officials, who see this as an opportunity to challenge Pompeo.
While limiting Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s movements in New York, Pompeo told The Washington Post he would accept any offer to go on Iranian television and address Iranians to say “we care deeply about them — that we’re supportive of the Iranian people, that we understand that the revolutionary theocracy is not acting in a way that is in their best interest.”
