The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said about US President Donald Trump's policy towards the Islamic Republic: "It was very easy for him to do what several presidents did before him; This means ignoring the issue of Iran and leaving it to the next president. "It was the easiest thing possible," he added. But he didn't do it and faced this problem." Rubio said: "What Iran wants to do is not only destroy our country, but destroy our way of life and threaten our children. "We cannot live in a world where the most dangerous terrorist and extremist regime on the planet has weapons of mass destruction." He criticized previous US presidents for ignoring this issue, saying: “This president was not elected to allow threats to continue. He did it for you and for our country. For this reason, we and future generations owe him a great debt of gratitude." Rubio emphasized that Trump will continue to do so.
