Rubio Explained Why There Is No Longer A Need To Go To War With Iran

A different approach to influencing Tehran proved effective.

According to the Secretary of State, economic pressure has already inflicted too much damage on the Islamic Republic.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday at the Federalist Society’s annual National Conference of Lawyers that Washington does not need to continue military action against Iran at this stage, since the economic damage inflicted on the Islamic Republic is already so great that further strikes are unnecessary, reports 9tv.co.il.

Rubio’s statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced earlier this week that the war was “effectively over from a military standpoint.” “And now, frankly speaking, the economic damage we are inflicting on this regime is so great that military action is unnecessary. We have weakened it so much,” the secretary of state said. He cited the guarantee that Iran will never acquire nuclear weapons as the United States’ main victory.

Rubio also acknowledged that the war had serious economic consequences for Americans themselves. The hostilities led to rising fuel prices and affected virtually every sector of the global economy.

According to the Secretary of State, Trump could have refrained from intervening in the situation, avoided an unpopular war, and left the resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue to his successor. However, the president decided not to put off this issue.

“It’s tough. It’s not easy, and often such decisions entail certain costs, including economic ones. We understand that,” Rubio said.

In recent days, Donald Trump has spoken several times about ending the war, noting in an interview with the sports channel ESPN that the U.S. could destroy Iran’s infrastructure in three days.

On Thursday, Donald Trump announced that he is scaling back diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict with Iran and is withdrawing J.D. Vance from this track. The president made it clear that he prefers to maintain the naval blockade and continue putting pressure on the Iranian economy.
