Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said the return to office of President-elect Donald Trump will be the “beginning of the end” for the Iranian regime.

In a speech in Paris on Jan. 9 to the National Council of the Resistance of Iran, a coalition of overseas Iranian opposition groups, Pompeo said he was confident Trump would reinstate the “maximum pressure” strategy he exerted during his first administration.
