Pompeo also said that Washington is not worried about Iranian officials visiting the United States. “We are not afraid of Javad Zarif coming to the United States, where he has a free voice. Is the Ali Khamenei regime really so bad, he can’t let I do the same thing in Tehran? What happens if his people hear the truth that has not been filtered and has not been abridged?”

What is the attitude of the Iranian side regarding Pompeo’s intentional visit? The Tehran Times noted that Pompeo revealed on the 25th that he intends to visit Iran in the near future and will accept an interview with Iranian television. However, Peyman Jebeli, chairman of the International Department of the Iranian Radio and Television Administration, said on the 28th that “we did not ask for Pompei and did not plan to arrange this interview.”
