MIKE POMPEO: Operation Epic Fury is righteous, and regime change must follow

After decades of terrorism, the Ayatollah's regime faces joint military action as America supports Iranian people's fight for freedom.

Mike Pompeo serves as a contributor at FOX News Channel. Previously, he served in the Trump administration as the sixth director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the 70th U.S. secretary of state. He formerly represented Kansas’ 4th Congressional District.

With God’s help, our troops will be able to fulfill this mission safely and secure an outcome that keeps all Americans safe.

This action by itself is an important step toward removing the threat posed by this evil regime, and a natural follow-up to the joint U.S.-Israeli mission to degrade Iran’s nuclear program, Operation Midnight Hammer. However, kinetic strikes alone are not sufficient. America will never be safe as long as this fundamentalist, anti-American dictatorship remains in power.
