14:00 – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo makes an address on the sidelines at a United Against Nuclear Iran panel. He says the economic pressure US is putting on Iran has prompted them to resort to sabotage attempts in the region, including the attacks on Saudi Aramco, and their actions are increasing the risk of conflict in the region.
Pompeo adds that US action against Iran has drawn international attention to the country’s constant threat to peace, and that many countries are now ready to face its threats to regional navigation and international security.
