Rubio Says No Need for Major Combat Operations Against Iran Given US Economic Campaign
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that he told G7 allies the US economic sanctions and naval blockade are working so well that President Donald Trump does not need to conduct major combat operations against Iran. Speaking to reporters in Paris after two days of meetings with G7 allies, Rubio repeatedly pushed back on the assertion that not returning to military action would amount to a stalemate or status quo. "The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now is extraordinary, and it compounds. It's growing every day," Rubio said.
