Referring to the recent positions of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the international relations lecturer, Mohammad Kaidi, said that Washington wants to continue the economic pressure and the naval blockade of the Islamic Republic, so that Tehran will be forced to accept the US conditions in the coming months.
He considered preventing the Islamic Republic from obtaining nuclear weapons as the main goal that Washington has declared, and said that Rubio, contrary to previous positions, did not mention the Islamic Republic's missile program and proxy groups in his recent statements.
