US President Donald Trump administration has launched an offensive of speeches and online communications meant to foment unrest and help pressure Iran to end its nuclear program, US officials familiar with the matter said.
More than half a dozen current and former officials said the campaign, supported by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the neocon national security adviser John Bolton, is meant to work in concert with Trump’s push to economically throttle Iran by reimposing tough sanctions. The drive has intensified since Trump withdrew on May 8 from a 2015 seven-nation deal on Iran’s nuclear program, Reuters reported.
