Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the United States attacked Iran because it “tried to play” President Trump ” – and warned if it tried to take revenge, it would be” the worst mistake they made ever. “
“This was an Iranian option. We have not taken this option,” Rubio told Fox News.
Rubio said Iran “has tried to play Trump as they played every American president over the past 35 years.” They did by playing games with Donald Trump. They made a big mistake.
“If they criticize, that will be the worst mistake they made at all,” he said. “Look, we can fly inside and outside Iran at the will. We went last night. The president sent our military forces from mid -road around the world, went, and performed this operation, the left, and was not shot against us.”
Rubio noted that Trump wrote to Iran about two months ago, Tehran granted 60 days to negotiate its nuclear program.
“They are using diplomacy to hide behind them and believe them and believe they are able to buy time. They believe they are nice, they are not nice, and they will not escape these things, not during President Trump's era,” Rubio said.
Iran has taken the attack on its nuclear sites – which the United States calls “midnight” by the United States – and pledge America should be “completely responsible”, without clarifying the details.
Some analysts speculated that Iran could expel attacks against American bases or other military assets in the region. In 2020, Iran attacked the Assad air base in Iraq, where the United States had concentrated forces, in response to the killing of the famous Jerusalem forces, Qassem Solmani.
However, the Israelis have deteriorated the Iranian offensive and defensive capabilities significantly since the launch of the RISing Lion operation against its enemy more than a week ago to direct its nuclear program.
“They are completely weak, completely weak,” Rubio said of Iran. “They do not control their airspace, and they cannot protect their airspace.
“They cannot even protect their leaders,” he said. “So I think it would be a big mistake if they did anything against us. But look, they will have to make this decision.”
One of the possible revenge that many experts fear is that Iran can try to close the Strait of Hermoz, with an estimated 20 % to 25 % of the world's oil flows.
“I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to contact them about this because it relies heavily on the hormone strait for its adulterers,” said Rubio. “if [Iranian officials try to close the waterway]It will be another terrible mistake. It is an economic suicide for them if they do so. “
The Foreign Minister stressed that “this is not a war against Iran,” and denied that the United States is seeking to change the regime with its military campaign against theocratic.
“This is definitely not the goal of what we are working on here. The goal is very clearly mentioned in a message that the president sent to the supreme leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]The Foreign Minister said.
Rubio also tore the troubled history of Iran, to evaluate it “the only source of instability in the entire Middle East, and the world was paying a price for 40 years.
“Imagine those people who have a nuclear weapon, only one, just one nuclear weapon or even the ability to be on the threshold of a nuclear weapon,” warned.
While many neighboring countries in the Middle East condemned the strikes, Rubio claimed that “from the private sector, they agree with us all that this must be done.”
He also suggested that the European powers be seen in slapping the sanctions on Tehran.
