God May Have Sent Trump to Save Israel from Iran: US Secy of State Mike Pompeo
Pompeo's comments came on a Jewish holiday, Purim, which celebrates the biblical rescue of Jewish people from genocide. Donald Trump was compared to Queen Esther who rescued Jews.

Washington: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said it is "possible" that President Donald Trump was sent by God to save Israel from Iran.

In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network during a high-profile trip to Israel, he said it was his faith that made him believe that.

He also praised US efforts to "make sure that this democracy in the Middle East, that this Jewish state, remains", the BBC reported.

The comments came on a Jewish holiday celebrating rescue from genocide.

The holiday, Purim, commemorates the biblical rescue of the Jewish people by Queen Esther from the Persians, as the interviewer noted to Pompeo.

He was asked if "President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from an Iranian menace".

"As a Christian, I certainly believe that's possible," said Pompeo, a former Kansas senator and CIA director.

"I am confident that the Lord is at work here," he added.

Pompeo came under fire during his tour of the Middle East for holding a conference call and only inviting "faith-based" members of the media to join.​
