The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, called the Islamic Republic the biggest supporter of terrorism in the world and said: "In the history of mankind, no country has invested as much time and money as the Iranian government to support terrorist activities around the world."
Referring to the regional activities of the Islamic Republic, Rubio said that this government has been waging war against the United States since 1979, and its main problem is the revolutionary nature and expansionist thinking of its leaders.
Referring to the role of Shia clerics in the power structure of the Islamic Republic, he said that the decisions of the leaders of this government are made based on religious beliefs and the state of Iran's economy is not important to them.
The American Secretary of State said: "These people are not ordinary rulers of Iran." The state of Iran's economy is not important to them. These people are revolutionaries."
Rubio added that according to the founding documents of the Islamic Republic, the leader of this government does not see himself as the sole leader of Iran, but claims that he is the leader of all Muslims and sees bringing about the revolution as one of his duties.
