The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on Monday, November 9, in an interview with reporters in France, while explaining the US government's position regarding the necessity of the war with Iran, identified the Islamic Republic as the main cause of instability in the Middle East.
"If you look at all the instability in the region, there is one common factor behind each of these destabilizing activities: the Iranian regime," Rubio said, referring to militias in Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Syrian civil war.
The American Secretary of State also mentioned the activities of the Houthis in Yemen and the threats to Saudi Arabia and said that Washington is meeting its defense obligations towards Riyadh. He added: "If it weren't for Iran's support, the Houthis could not even exist in their current form."
Rubio emphasized that the countries of the region are also aware of the role of the Islamic Republic in this instability, and the US will continue to cooperate with Saudi Arabia to deal with the threats of the Houthis.
