Marco Rubio Highlights Trump’s Direct Approach and Pressure on Iran’s RegimePreviousNext

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised President Donald Trump's direct approach toward Iran, stating the Iranian regime has not faced such decisive action before. Rubio highlighted that recent US military strikes have weakened Iran's defensive capabilities, removing its conventional shield. He noted that Iran still retains missiles and drones but is now more willing to negotiate on denuclearisation and the Strait of Hormuz due to US strength. Rubio emphasized the need for Iran to change its regional ambitions and warned that Tehran can no longer act without consequences.
