U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed reporters after the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in France. He emphasized the United States’ expectation that the operation targeting Iran would conclude within weeks, rather than months.
Rubio confidently asserted that the nation possessed clear objectives and was poised to successfully achieve them. The situation escalated with reports of Iranian hackers gaining access to the email account of the FBI director, subsequently releasing the information publicly. Rubio addressed this breach, acknowledging Iran’s potential to establish a tax system within the Strait of Hormuz.
However, he later clarified that any permanent imposition of a tax on the waterway would be deemed unacceptable. Rubio unequivocally stated that Russia’s actions in support of Iran were not impeding or influencing the American military operation within the country. When questioned about the possibility of a potential U.S.
land invasion of Iran, Rubio remained firm. He reiterated the commitment to achieving the operation’s goals through existing means, without resorting to further escalation. Rubio’s comments underscored the United States’ determination to resolve the situation in Iran swiftly and effectively.
