Rubio Says Iran 'Trying to Hold World Hostage' with Its Attacks
Senator Rubio says Iran's missile and drone attacks on Israel and Gulf nations aim to pressure the world, with U.S. efforts focused on stopping these strikes.
- On last Tuesday, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio told a State Department event that 'They are trying to hold the world hostage.'
- Rubio cited recent strikes using missiles and drones on Israel and Gulf countries, saying Iran's clerical regime attacked energy infrastructure and civilians, prompting his remarks.
- He spoke alongside Levinson's family, reminding listeners of past hostage incidents as Rubio linked Robert Levinson's 2007 disappearance on Kish island to the 1979 U.S. embassy hostage-taking by supporters of Ruhollah Khomeini.
- Rubio said the mission's goal is to destroy Iran's ability to continue attacks and asserted the United States is making progress toward war objectives.
- Last month’s attack by the United States and Israel preceded Iran’s missile and drone strikes, with a 2020 U.S. finding linking Iran to Levinson’s presumed death, Rubio said.
