Rubio Says ‘Major Combat Operations’ in Iran Are Over

“Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that the Trump administration’s economic pressure campaign against Iran was effective enough that ‘there’s really no need for major combat operations any longer,'” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Rubio’s declaration was the most explicit signal yet that President Trump does not intend to escalate his conflict with Iran after last week’s U.S. midterm elections.”
