US Secretary of State Says No Further Military Operations Against Iran Are Needed

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there was no need for further military operations against Iran, describing the launch of additional operations as “unnecessary.”

Speaking before the Federalist Society, Rubio reaffirmed a statement made earlier in the week by US President Donald Trump, who said the war was “effectively over from a military standpoint.” Rubio said, “At this point, there is no need for military action,” expressing his belief that “victory is ensuring they never have a nuclear weapon.”

At the same time, Rubio acknowledged the economic hardship Americans had experienced as a result of the war, which drove up fuel costs and affected nearly every sector of the global economy.

Rubio added, “It would have been easy for Trump to ignore the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program, avoid an unpopular war, and leave it for whoever comes after him to worry about.” He continued, “The president decided that he would not leave the matter unaddressed. But it is arduous and difficult, and it is not easy. It often causes economic and other hardship, and so we recognize that.”
