US Was Aware of Soleimani's Planned Attack on Embassy, Pompeo Says

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has denied reports that they were unaware of the planned attacks on embassies by Iranian General Qasem Soleimani. This statement was made during an interview with Fox News.

He pointed out that such claims are baseless and dangerous, potentially threatening the safety of men and women working at their embassies. “We not only knew about the planned attack but also took comprehensive security measures, strengthening the security at the embassy. They were prepared to defend themselves if something went wrong,” the U.S. Secretary of State stated.
