RUBIO'S STATEMENT ON IRAN: WHAT IS AT STAKE IS NOT WEEKS OR MONTHS
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a new statement regarding the attacks on Iran. Rubio, who provided the date when the attacks would end, stated that it would not take months. Rubio insisted that Washington could reach its targets in Iran without the need for ground troops, emphasizing that this would not be a 'long-term conflict.' Rubio said, "What is at stake here is not weeks or months. It will end within weeks."
Rubio stated that he has received "messages and signals" indicating that the U.S. is willing to engage in talks with Iran, but he is waiting for further clarification.
Rubio continued his remarks as follows: "Even now, they are hitting embassies, targeting hotels. Imagine these crazies having a nuclear weapon to threaten the world. Nothing Russia does for Iran is affecting our operations in any way."
"IT WILL LAST ANOTHER 2 TO 4 WEEKS"
Meanwhile, according to a report by Axios based on sources close to the matter, Rubio stated at the G7 Foreign Ministers Meeting today that the attacks on Iran would last another 2 to 4 weeks.
Rubio indicated at the meeting that the U.S. is also close to having serious discussions with Iran, stating that a large number of new U.S. troops are being deployed to the region and that the Trump administration is also considering options that would escalate tensions.
"COMMUNICATION WITH IRAN CONTINUES THROUGH INTERMEDIARIES"
At the meeting, Rubio emphasized that the U.S. is determined to achieve all its targets against Iran, reporting that the U.S. is still communicating with Iran through intermediaries. Rubio claimed that there is still uncertainty about who makes decisions in Tehran, and that Iranian officials who want to negotiate with the U.S. are avoiding answering their phones due to fears of assassination.
