Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has published an article about the US war with Iran and Washington's aim to damage the vital infrastructure of the Persian state, Gazeta Express reports.
Pompeo, in this article titled "Peace Through Strength: Why Targeting Iran's War Machine is Legal and Necessary," said that those shocked by such a thing should refresh their memory and emphasized that such attacks are not a radical departure from international norms.
"It is a proven method – a method that has ended conflicts and saved lives," Pomepo wrote, Gazeta Express reports.
The former US Secretary of State mentioned the case of Kosovo in 1999 and the bombing campaign against the regime of Slobodan Milosevic. Pompeo said that the bombings, supported by many of today's critics, had hit Serbia's electrical grid with the aim of breaking Slobodan Milosevic.
“During the Kosovo campaign in the late 1990s, NATO forces – enthusiastically supported by many of today’s most vocal critics – hit the power grid in Belgrade to break Milosevic’s command and control. In World War II, we didn’t limit ourselves to tanks on the front lines. We hit the ball-bearing factories in Schweinfurt and the oil refineries that kept the Nazi war machine going, because we understood that you can’t defeat an aggressor while leaving its industrial heart intact,” Pompeo wrote.
Liberal media is claiming @realDonaldTrump is a war criminal by targeting Iranian infrastructure. Read my latest @ACLJ post why they are dead wrong and why the President's actions are both right and necessary.https://t.co/rhW0f5E4CB
