Earlier on January 9, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaking in the Jordanian capital Amman said: "The United States is redoubling its diplomatic and commercial efforts to counter Tehran's influence in the region."
Speaking weeks after the United States pulled out of the historic nuclear agreement, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and major powers in 2015, Pompeo laid out 12 tough conditions for any "new deal" with Tehran.
