US Secretary Of State Marco Rubio Warns Iran Of Growing Economic Pressure, Accuses Tehran Of Destabilising Middle East

Washington, November 10 - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cautioned Iran regarding the escalating economic sanctions, attributing the strain to Tehran's demands. According to Rubio, Iran is seeking a deal with the US but insists on conditions he deems unreasonable and unreasonable. "Iran would love a deal. The problem is, the conditions they continue to place are absurd. They're not even serious," he stated.

Rubio emphasized the growing economic hardship faced by Iran under the current regime. "The economic pain that is being inflicted on Iran right now, on that regime, is extraordinary. It compounds; it's growing every day," he added. He attributed these difficulties to Iran's own leadership rather than US policy.

The Secretary of State also criticized Iran for misusing resources after receiving sanctions relief during the Obama administration. "When Obama gave them sanctions relief, they didn't use that money to build up hospitals, roads, bridges, and universities. They used that money to build weapons and arm proxies in the region to attack us and other countries," Rubio asserted.

Moreover, Rubio accused Iran of inciting unrest in the Middle East. "Behind every single one of these destabilising activities in the Middle East there's one common denominator - the Iranian regime," he declared. He further stated that Iran was the source of instability in the region, a view shared by other countries in the area.

Rubio clarified that his stance is solely on behalf of the United States. "We work for America. We don't work for the global order; we don't work for other countries. We work for the United States," he affirmed. Regarding cyberattacks allegedly linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in France, Rubio did not comment on potential intelligence sharing with Paris.

Instead, he attributed a pattern of sabotage to the force but emphasized the distinction between Iran's leadership and its citizens. "The Iranian people are great people," he concluded.
