Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, announced that the Islamic Republic's nuclear and missile programs pose a serious threat to the United States and its interests. He told reporters Wednesday night Washington time that the US President always prefers to pursue the path of negotiation, but "everyone should know that Iran's government has been a very serious threat to America for a long time." Rubio identified Tehran's nuclear program as the most important threat and claimed that Iran, after the destruction of its facilities in US attacks, is trying to rebuild parts of it. According to him, the Islamic Republic is not currently conducting enrichment, but is working to reach a stage where it can resume these activities. He also described Iran's missile program as a direct threat against US bases and its allies in the region, including in the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, and added that Tehran challenges US shipping and naval forces with its maritime equipment, and has weapons that can be used against Americans. @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
