Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State of the United States during the first term of Donald Trump, said that the resumption of military operations against the Islamic Republic should lead to the allocation of the war and that this government should not be allowed to rebuild its military power. Pompeo raised these positions in an interview with the English section of Al-Arabiya on Friday, November 8. He also said that the issue of the Houthis is not limited only to Saudi Arabia and has regional and global dimensions.
