#BreakingNews US Secretary of State Secretary Marco Rubio says talks with Iran don’t legitimize the regime: the U.S. views dialogue as a tool, not a concession. He argues Iran’s real crisis is internal, an economy drained by missiles, terrorism, and repression… and insists the regime doesn’t represent its people. The U.S. will talk, but won’t stop calling out abuses.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iran “had to happen no matter what” on Monday ahead of a briefing at the U.S. Capitol. “Iran, in about a year or a year and a half, would cross the line of immunity, meaning they would have so many short-range missiles, so many drones, that no one could do anything about it,” Rubio said. “Obviously we were aware of Israeli intentions and understood what that would mean for us, and we had to be prepared to act as a result of it.”
