US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed in statements that Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons would be a threat to the region and even the United States; he claimed that if Iran acquires such a weapon, it will use it to put pressure on regional countries.
Comparing the leaders of Iran and North Korea, Rubio said that he believes the Iranian leaders have an expansionist approach and called Tehran’s support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah and armed groups in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen a factor in regional instability; he called preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons Washington’s main goal.
The US Secretary of State also claimed that economic pressure could prevent the need for further military action against Iran. These statements come at a time when Iran has always denied trying to build nuclear weapons and insists that its nuclear program has peaceful purposes.
