Rubio outlines key condition for US victory in conflict with Iran

For the United States, victory in a conflict with Iran would mean permanently depriving Tehran of the financial and technological capabilities needed to develop nuclear weapons.

According to TodayPress TV, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the remarks while answering journalists’ questions after speaking at the Federalist Society in Washington.

“I think victory means ensuring that they never have a nuclear weapon. And that means they must have neither the money nor the equipment to build one,” Rubio said.

The secretary of state claimed that US economic pressure on Iran was already producing significant results.

“The economic damage we are inflicting on this regime is so substantial that military operations are not necessary. We have weakened them very seriously,” he stressed.
