Pompeo has won an award from a hate group that the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center called "the largest anti-Muslim group," the article said. Pompeo, who has boldly declared that all Muslims are "potential complicit" in terrorist acts, has also sought to label the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, and he has repeatedly co-sponsored the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorism Designation Act in an attempt to force the U.S. State Department to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a "foreign terrorist organization." On January 11, 2020, CNN published an article titled "How Pompeo persuaded Trump to kill Soleimani and achieve his decade-long goal",Sources inside and around the administration told CNN that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was behind President Donald Trump's decision to kill one of Iran's top generals, a high-risk move and a sign that Pompeo is the most influential national security official in the Trump administration, the report said. For a decade, America's top diplomats have targeted Iranian General Soleimani from the battlefield. It was Pompeo's idea.

On January 14, 2020, Reuters published a report titled "Pompeo Says Killing Soleimani Is Part of New Strategy to Deter U.S. Enemies," which said U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday that the killing of Qassem Soleimani was part of a broader strategy to deter the challenge of U.S. enemies, which applies equally to China and Russia, further downplaying the claim that Iran's top general was attacked because he was planning an attack on the United States.
