🔺Rubio on the Shiite clerics ruling Iran: tens of thousands of protesting people killed themselves; if they become nuclear, what will they do to others?

▪ Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, on Friday, 22 Aban, in response to a question about what it means for the United States to achieve victory in its confrontation with the Islamic Republic, said that Washington’s ultimate goal is to ensure that the Islamic Republic “never gains access to nuclear weapons,” and emphasized that the current level of economic pressure on the regime is so severe that, in the present circumstances, there is no need for military action.
