WASHINGTON—The Heritage Foundation will welcome Secretary of State Mike Pompeo May 21 for his first public address on the Trump administration’s Iran strategy. The speech comes less than two weeks after Pres. Donald J. Trump’s May 8 announcement that the U.S. would withdraw from the flawed nuclear deal with “the world's leading state sponsor of terror.”

Following the speech, titled “After the Deal: A New Iran Strategy,” Secretary Pompeo will be joined on stage by Heritage Pres. Kay Coles James for a brief discussion.
