Rubio warns nuclear-armed Iran could hold US, Middle East hostage
According to i24NEWS, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Friday at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention in Washington that a nuclear-armed Iran could hold the Middle East and the United States hostage. Citing attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and describing Iran’s leaders as “expansionists” and “revolutionaries,” Rubio stated that Washington must ensure Tehran never acquires nuclear weapons. "Imagine if they had a nuclear weapon; they would hold the entire region hostage. They would hold this nation hostage," he said.
