🖨️ Print Article

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who some fellow Republicans believe has been politically “castrated” by President Trump, demanded that Iran get out of Iraq, its neighbor and close ally. “I think Mr. Tillerson will be departing Washington for his sprawling ranch in Texas before the Iranians leave Iraq,” said Dr. Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston. Tillerson’s “loose talk should not be taken seriously. He is yesterday’s man.”
