(MENAFN)US Central Intelligence Agency Director Mike Pompeo sent Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and Iranian leaders a letter saying he is dissatisfied with Iran's agressive behavior in Iraq.
Pompeo attended the annual Reagan National Defense Forum in Southern California, saying he sent the letter after the senior Iranian military commander declared that forces under his control are to attack US forces in Iraq.
"What we were communicating to him in that letter was that we will hold he and Iran accountable for any attacks on American interests in Iraq by forces that are under their control,"said Pompeo.
"We wanted to make sure he and the leadership in Iran understood that in a way that was crystal clear." He added.
