Rubio backs Trump’s Middle East strikes, says Iranian regime must change

Rubio said the strikes have severely degraded Iran’s defenses and pushed Tehran toward talks on denuclearization and the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a planned attack on Iran, conditioning the pause on Tehran's agreement to open the Hormuz Strait and end its nuclear program.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio praised the strategy, claiming recent military actions have "severely degraded" Iran's "conventional shield" of drones and missiles during Operation Epic Fury, which began February 28.
  • During a Fox News interview with Lara Trump, Rubio noted Iran spent 20-30 years "lying" and "breaking deals," arguing that current military pressure forces Tehran to negotiate from weakness.
  • Israel has joined the United States in pursuing the agreement, which Trump asserts includes "immediate and total opening" of the Hormuz Strait and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.
  • Washington continues to demand that Tehran renounce its aim to "export the revolution," emphasizing that raising the cost for regional influence remains central to the administration's long-term strategy.
