国务卿迈克尔·R·蓬佩奥：过去四十年中，该政权已经种下许多破坏和不稳定，这样的恶劣行为并未随“联合全面行动计划（JCPOA）”而终止。伊朗的行动已使这个国家遭到蔑视，这让伊朗人民甚为绝望。特朗普总统已经明确表示，如果伊朗达不到美国及其伙伴和盟友—以及伊朗人民自己—希望看到的标准，那施压就只会增强。

Secretary Michael R. Pompeo: Over the past four decades, the regime has sown a great deal of destruction and instability, bad behavior that did not end with the JCPOA. Iran’s actions have made the country a pariah, much to the despair of its own people. President Trump has made clear that the pressure will only increase if Iran does not live up to the standards the United States and its partners and allies—and the Iranian people themselves—want to see.
