Mike Pompeo, the former US Secretary of State, described in an interview with Al Arabiya the US and Israeli military operation against the Islamic Republic as a "100 percent correct" operation and said that this operation was carried out seven or even 17 years late. He added that early military action against the Islamic Republic could have prevented that government's development of medium-range ballistic missiles. Earlier, Pompeo also supported the continuation of military measures against the Islamic Republic. In an interview with the National Magazine in August 1405, he called for targeting the Islamic Republic's military infrastructure.
