Speaking to Fox News earlier, Pompeo said the meeting will bring together dozens of nations and a focus will include “making sure that Iran is not a destabilizing influence.”
Pompeo is currently on a Middle East tour, drumming up support for US sanctions against Iran.
The summit will take place on February 13 and 14. It will occur as US forces withdraw from Syria amid concerns that the exit of American forces will open the door for Iran to cement its influence in the country.
