M31GlobalNews, Washington — President Donald Trump has revoked the security protection for his former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a move that has raised concerns due to ongoing threats against him from Iran.

Why Pompeo’s Security Was Revoked

During Trump’s first term, Mike Pompeo played a key role in shaping U.S. policy toward Iran and was instrumental in Trump’s controversial decision to order the assassination of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani in early 2020. Following Soleimani’s death, Iran vowed revenge, targeting senior Trump officials, including Pompeo and Bolton.

Despite the credible threats identified by the Department of Justice, Trump has now removed Pompeo’s State Department security detail. The decision, first reported by The New York Times and confirmed by M31GlobalNews, has sparked criticism and concerns among former intelligence and national security officials.


Trump Defends His Decision

When asked about his decision to strip security from former officials, Trump stated:
“When you have protection, you can’t have it for the rest of your life. You don’t want a large detail of people guarding people forever. There are risks to everything.”

This aligns with Trump’s recent move to terminate the Secret Service protection for John Bolton, who also faced threats from Iran due to his hawkish stance on the country during Trump’s first term.


Ongoing Threats from Iran

The Iranian government has been accused of plotting revenge against senior Trump officials, including Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Trump himself. The Department of Justice previously revealed that Iranian agents attempted an assassination plot against Bolton and Pompeo.

A former intelligence official told M31GlobalNews:
“This is alarming. There is a credible and serious Iranian threat against Pompeo and Bolton. Somebody could get killed.”

Another former national security official criticized Trump’s decision, calling it an act of “pure spite and pettiness” and warning that Trump could face consequences if these individuals are harmed.


Trump Also a Target of Iranian Plots

Trump himself remains a target of Iran’s threats due to his involvement in Soleimani’s death. Last summer, Trump’s team requested increased security after briefings from the Biden administration indicated that Iran was still actively plotting against him.


Concerns Over National Security

Experts fear that revoking protection for high-profile individuals like Pompeo and Bolton could set a dangerous precedent. The latest news of Trump’s decision has left many wondering whether this move could endanger former officials who played critical roles in U.S. foreign policy.
