Outlaw @SecPompeo has no qualms about violating his own country's laws.
Standing next to World's # 1 nuclear threat, he declares his desire to flood our region with even more US weapons — all while trying to impede lawful normalization of Iran's defense

Zarif stressed that Tehran is convinced of the region's need for a new deal between its countries, and that the continuation of the status quo will end in disaster for everyone.
He was surprised by Abu Dhabi establishing relations with what he described as the largest historical enemy of the Arabs by opening its doors to the Israeli entity.
Zarif said that achieving collective security through cooperation between the countries of the region is not a slogan, and that Iran is ready to implement it in practice.
He attached his tweet to an article from the "New York Times" talking about the US President Donald Trump's administration's violation of arms control laws, by selling weapons and drones to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
