WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Friday the United States has offered to help with the coronavirus response in Iran, where the outbreak has killed 34 people, and raised doubts about Tehran's willingness to share information.

"We have made offers to the Islamic Republic of Iran to help," Pompeo said in a hearing at House Foreign Affairs Committee. "Their healthcare infrastructure is not robust and to date, their willingness to share information about what's really going on inside...Iran has not been robust and I am very concerned that....it is Iran that is not sharing information."
