Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sen. Elizabeth Warren traded jabs on Twitter over the Trump administration's efforts to prevent a conventional weapons embargo on Iran from being lifted
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Sen. Elizabeth Warren traded jabs on Twitter over the Trump administration's efforts to prevent a conventional weapons embargo on Iran from being lifted.
The arms embargo is legally set to expire in October under the terms of the Iran nuclear deal that the administration walked away from in 2018. But State Department officials, including Pompeo, have publicly argued in recent days that the US is still a participant in the agreement and can demand the return of sanctions outlined in the pact if the embargo isn't extended.
