(Updated Episode: Sorry for the prior inconvience) 

Welcome to the Moderate Voice of America. Our story today begins with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo taking action against Iran. On January 12th, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the United States will take action to counter Iranian support for al-Qaeda. Pompeo said, “Today, I revealed new information about how the Islamic Republic of Iran has given a new operational headquarters to al-Qa’ida, the terrorist network with more American blood on its hands than any other. For al-Qa’ida, Iran is the new home base. Tehran gives sanctuary to the terror group’s senior leaders as they plan attacks against America and our allies."

What is the latest move of the state department before the expiration of the administration? So now that the Trump administration is fading away and the United States comes to recognize a new administration, how does this action affect its foreign policy? What does it mean for the United States moving forward?
