From the BBC
The US will work with allies to "expel every last Iranian boot" from Syria, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says.
Mr Pompeo warned there would be no US reconstruction aid for areas controlled by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad until Iran and its proxies had left.
He also criticised ex-President Barack Obama's Middle East policy, saying he had made "dire misjudgements".
Mr Pompeo was speaking in Cairo three weeks after President Donald Trump said US troops were pulling out of Syria.
COMMENT:-
I can see how the threat of forcing Mr. al-Assad to get foreign aid from Russia, China, or Iran has absolutely terrified the Syrian and Iranian governments.
That's really like saying "Well, if you don't do what I tell you to do, you can't have any 'Bud' and you will have to drink 'Coors'.".
The rumour that Mr. Trump plans to solve the problem with Iranians exerting influence in other countries by building a Big Beautiful Wall all the way around Iran is totally false.
Or it is?
