Tensions increase with Iran

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is in Iraq after an unannounced trip a day after U.S. officials said Iran may be preparing to attack American troops. During a four-hour visit Pompeo met with leading Iraqi officials, including the Prime Minister. Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton warned that Iran and its proxy forces appear to be preparing for attacks against U.S. troops or their allies in the region. The Trump Administration did not provide any additional details.
