Pompeo, who was the director of the CIA, devoted an entire chapter of his newly published book, "Never Give An Inch", to talk about the reasons that prompted them at the time to take this decision, saying that he was behind the recommendation to kill the Iranian general personally.
Reasons for targeting Soleimani and Middle East leaders
Mike Pompeo considered in his newly published book that the Trump administration inherited the failures of the administration that preceded it - during the Obama era - in the Iranian file. Obama spent his term trying to appease the Iranians and gave the Ayatollah money and time and paved the way for the nuclear weapons program. according to his expression.
Pompeo said that Obama's policy and his "dreams" of improving Iranian behavior with appeasement and payments showed their clear failure, as Iran's complete control of the Middle East continued, and the Iranian regime secretly pursued its prohibited nuclear work under the nuclear agreement, which prompted the Trump administration to withdraw from the agreement. agreement and an intense campaign of economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran.
Pompeo continued by recalling the year 2019, when the Iranian economy began to falter due to economic sanctions, recalling the Iranian regime's response to the deterioration of the situation and considering that the Iranian regime's leaders acted as if they were "outlaws", by planting mines on ships flying international flags, enriching uranium openly, and their behavior In a way that urges countries to refrain from exerting pressure against them.
Pompeo considered that the commander of the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, was the "director of Iranian terrorism," and Pompeo said that he was interested in studying Soleimani's case even before he headed the CIA, likening his "military face" and his presence to a propaganda hero, "the most interesting man." in the world" promoting an alcoholic beverage.
Pompeo said that Soleimani planted "real fear" in the hearts of the leaders of the Middle East, and that he was behind countless bombings, assassinations and destabilization, stressing that he was the reason behind the killing of more than six hundred American soldiers during the Iraq war.
In this context, Pompeo inferred the extent of Soleimani's authority in the Middle East, by citing the course of one of the conversations between him and former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, when the latter hosted him in his palace in 2017.
Pompeo stated that he asked al-Abadi a question whether Iraq had He will stop importing electricity from Iran if the United States of America provides financial support in return? The second option is that Iraq will be exposed to the danger of US sanctions on its national electrical grid.
Pompeo said Iraqi Prime Minister al-Abadi looked at him very seriously and said, "Mr. Director, when you leave, Qassem Soleimani will come to see me. You may take my money, but he will take my life itself."
"Soleimani tastes American revenge"
Pompeo said in a paragraph titled "Soleimani tastes American revenge," that the Trump administration expected that the killing of Soleimani would make Iran move quickly to replace him with the "next best option," but Pompeo claimed that Iran could not find anyone close to Soleimani With its combination of "power, reason, brutality, and public acceptance," its value is likened to Rembrandt's irreplaceable paintings.
Pompeo continued by saying that he was the one who suggested to Trump the assassination of Soleimani as a legitimate military target: "Soleimani travels from Beirut to Damascus to Baghdad. He travels on commercial flights and we know his itinerary," adding that "the assassination decision came after the killing of the American military contractor." Nawras Walid Hammad following a missile attack by a pro-Iranian group on a military base near the city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq in December 2019.
According to Pompeo, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and Chief of Staff Mark Milley briefed Trump on the assassination plan, and Pompeo then made it clear to Trump that they would contact the Iranians immediately after the strike; To make it clear that it is not an attempt to decapitate the regime, but they are ready to escalate if necessary.
"Let's go," Pompeo said. But after getting up, Pompeo recalled. "One more reminder, Mr. President, we're going to shoot a missile from 6,000 miles away at an international airport. We've never done anything like that before."
Pompeo described the issue of the potential risks to civilians and the complexities of the strike site as an "afterthought" that came to him when talking with Trump, and added that he was comfortable with the potential risks, because their plan includes controlling the airspace for the most important five minutes, and none of the civilians will be harmed except those who are On board Soleimani's commercial planes.
Pompeo added that the plan was to deliberately target Soleimani after he got off the plane, got into his car and "got as far away from that plane as possible" and before leaving the airport.
The assassination plan was set to be implemented on January 3, 2020, and Trump informed the relevant partners, including US allies in the Middle East, including Israel, and partners in the Persian Gulf.
After that, Pompeo describes the moments of the assassination, as Pompeo was with Esper and Milley at the Pentagon and Trump in Florida, US intelligence personnel were tracking Soleimani in his movements, and when Soleimani landed at the airport after midnight Baghdad time on January 3, 2020, he was received by a deputy The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, greeted the heroes. An American MQ-9 Reaper drone was tracking their every movement from above. After Soleimani's car left the airport, the American plane showered him with Hellfire missiles that were used in previous American assassinations.
Consequences of the raid on the Trump administration
At the end of the chapter, Mike Pompeo raises the question that comes up when talking about the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, which is: What are the consequences of this raid? Did the Americans attempt to deter Tehran succeeded? Was it better to appease the Iranians?
Pompeo goes on to confirm once again that this step was one of the best things he is proud of in his career, and that his skeptics are completely wrong.
Pompeo justifies this by saying that the Trump administration's "bold actions" actually led to a "de-escalation of the situation," rather than igniting a new war.
And he considered that the assassination of Soleimani "protected the lives of Americans from a terrorist who was plotting more harm in the days and hours preceding his death," and that the assassination sent a message to Iran, stating that the continuation of the aggression would have dire consequences.
In the end, Pompeo added that he knows that the Iranian regime is still thirsting for revenge against its revered warlords, recalling the statement of Iran's President Ibrahim Raisi, in one of his previous speeches, in which he said: "If Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are not tried fairly for having committed the crime of assassination, Commander Soleimani, Muslims will avenge our martyr."
Therefore, Pompeo says that he still expects Iranian revenge to this day, and that he and his family are in fact taking some security precautions in the details of their daily lives, even after more than a year and a half have passed since he left office, and this is due to the Americans knowing that Iran and Hezbollah have the ability to reach with their arms even within the United States of America.
