The “terroristic regime” in Iran is “trying to hold the world hostage,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday morning.
Rubio made brief remarks about the ongoing U.S. Operation Epic Fury against Iran.
Rubio talked about the threat Iran poses at the U.S. Hostage & Wrongful Detainee Flag Raising Ceremony at the State Department.
“I think we are all seeing right now the threat that this clerical regime poses to the region and to the world,” he said. “They are trying to hold the world hostage. They are attacking their neighbors. They are attacking neighboring countries, their energy infrastructure, their civilian population.”
The secretary of state added the U.S. military is “getting the job done” in Iran.
“I want everyone to know your military is getting the job done,” he said. “And every single day this regime in Iran has less missiles, has less launchers, their factories work less, and their navy is being eviscerated, and the world is going to be a safer and a better place when this mission is accomplished.”
“And we are well on our way to achieving that objective every single day with overwhelming force, with overwhelming precision,” Rubio added.
