Mike Pompeo Admits U.S. Did Not Know Where and When Soleimani Attacks Would Happen, Despite Previously Warning of 'Imminent Threat'





Mike Pompeo admitted U.S. officials didn't know when or where attacks allegedly planned by Iranian General Qassem Soleimani would take place, despite previous claiming that the latter posed an "imminent" threat to American personnel.
The secretary of state said officials did not know "precisely" when or where the alleged plots would occur, but insisted the threat "was real" in a Fox News interview on Thursday night.
He also repeated his claim that there was "no doubt" the former Quds Force commander was plotting a "series of imminent attacks" on U.S. forces and diplomats in Iraq and other parts of the world.
Pompeo revealed that officials had no precise details of when and where the alleged planned attacks would take place after a Wednesday intelligence briefing with lawmakers on the Soleimani strike was met with a backlash.

  1. No contradiction there. When you see a wolf pack on the prowl, everyone knows what's about to happen, aka imminent - aka veyodo netuya vecharbo shlufo beyodo beLa'az even if you don't know when and where. When you find the den of snakes, you nip it in the bud, chad vecholok. Same when you see a ballistic missile on it's way, or when the missle locked on the Ukranian Passenger Jet. The common dernominator is, they are all imminent bent on destruction
