Mike Pompeo phones COAS Qamar Bajwa, talks about Gen Soleimani’s killing

[ASKardar]

ISLAMABAD – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a telephonic call to Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Thursday.

In a tweet, Mike Pompeo said: “I spoke with Pakistan’s Chief of Staff General Bajwa today about US defensive action to kill Qassem Soleimani. The Iran regime’s actions in the region are destabilizing and our resolve in protecting American interests, personnel, facilities, and partners will not waver.”

Meanwhile, Mike Pompeo also spoke with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and told him that Trump’s decision to kill Qassem Soleimani is to protect American lives at stake. “The Iranian regime’s actions are a source of instability throughout the region. The US will protect its people and its interests.”

Earlier in interviews on Fox News and CNN, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that a US air strike in Baghdad that killed a top Iranian commander aimed to disrupt an “imminent attack” that would have endangered Americans in the Middle East.

He declined to discuss many details of the alleged threat but said it was ‘an intelligence-based assessment’ that drove the US decision to target Qassem Soleimani.

“He was actively plotting in the region to take actions – a big action as he described it — that would have put dozens if not hundreds of American lives at risk. We know it was imminent,” Pompeo told CNN, echoing an earlier Pentagon statement on Thursday.

“These were threats that were located in the region,” Pompeo added. “Last night was the time that we needed to strike to make sure that this imminent attack … was disrupted.”

“What was sitting before us was his travels throughout the region, his efforts to make a significant strike against Americans,” Pompeo said separately on Fox News. “There would have been many Muslims killed as well, Iraqis and people in other countries.”

[StormBreaker]

US could be pissed off due to no progress in afghan talks hence trying all these games to scare iran to get a way out?

@blain2 @Mangus Ortus Novem your say sirs?

 

[SIPRA]

Pompeo has not mentioned the reaction of General Bajwa.

 

[Darth Vader]

Anything to do with Pakistan - 0
Will it create more complications for Pakistan - 1

But after checking his Tweet stream he has called everyone in the whole world, so i can be sure no sane person will take it seriously.
And i think he just wanted to tag Trump multiple times so he can say how good is he with Twitter

 

[Maxpane]

i think its a warning not a call

BajwaDoctorine of creating peace within and in the region is wise... however, if this Doctorine doesn't include ruthless application of force to defend The Heartland Pakistan then it needs change.

We must speak politely, kindly and softly... but OurDanda must do bigger, blunter and harsher talking... the world is a jungle.. sooner we realise it better it is!

U.S. has created an uncertain future with this sort of action they took last night -- basically rules of war have changed and now anything is possible.

Only thing that could save Iran from a direct attack is have nuclear weapons they should get them soon and if already have them to test it out.

Why is a US sec of State calling our army chief and not FM? Isn't this against diplomatic norms?

 

[Pakistan Space Agency]

Iranian problem is not our problem but thanks for letting us know.

 

[YeBeWarned]

i think its a warning not a call

Why would Pakistan be warned ? This General once Threat Pakistan remember , I don't like the fact US killed him to deliver a message but I think US calling Pakistan is just an attempt to keep Pakistan in fold, cause if things escalate to a war America will once again need Pakistan ( Most likely for conducting Air Strikes ) .

no offence this pompeo guy is NOT to be trusted.

can you really trust anyone in US?

 

[Path-Finder]

i think its a warning not a call

this and the warning to not fly over Pakistan should be seen as a threat made to Pakistan. Now who is against the extension of Gen Bajwa and those who think there is no imminent/severe threat to Pakistani state!

can you really trust anyone in US?

Never trust them.
