Rubio Says Iran Is Trying to Hold the World Hostage

Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran of “trying to hold the world hostage” by attacking other Middle Eastern nations even as the United States and Israel continue to bomb Iranian sites, Punchbowl News reports.

Said Rubio: “They are attacking neighboring countries, their energy infrastructure, their civilian population, they’re attacking embassies.”

He added: “This is a terrorist government, this is a terroristic regime. And we are seeing them conduct terrorism using nation-state elements. Using weapons like missiles and one-way attack drones. And the objective of this mission is to destroy their ability to continue to do that. We are well on the way to achieving that mission.”
