Pompeo favours ‘peaceful resolution’ to Gulf crisis after warning from Iran

The US wants a peaceful solution to the crisis sparked by attacks on Saudi oil facilities, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday, after Iran raised the prospect of “all-out war”. He said the US was intent on finding a way out of the confrontation. “We’d like a peaceful resolution. I think we’ve demonstrated that,” he told reporters. “I hope the Islamic Republic of Iran sees it the same way.”
