BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 22. Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised President Trump’s decisive strike against Iran, saying it was a response to Tehran’s refusal to make a deal on its nuclear program, Trend reports.
“The President told them, ‘If we don’t get a deal, which is what we wanted, then I’ll have to handle it differently.’ And that’s exactly what he did last night,” Rubio said in a TV interview.
He criticized Iran’s secret nuclear efforts: “If what they want is some secret program that looks nothing like the civil nuclear programs around the world, it looks a lot like you’re trying to build a bomb? They’re going to continue to have problems. Not just with us, but with many other countries in the world.”
Rubio called Trump’s action a favor to the world and urged the Iranian regime to reconsider their approach. “If they really want nuclear energy in their country, there is a way to do it. That offer is still on the table—we’re ready to talk with them tomorrow.”
