Rubio: The Shiite clerics of Ream in Salami's republic have an expansionist mentality.
Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, defended US foreign policy regarding Venezuela and Iran.
Last night, in his speech at the "Federalist Association", Mr. Rubio made a ground attack on the International Criminal Court while defending a "resolute and strong foreign policy".
He, who gave an official speech for the first time after the heavy defeat of the Republicans in the mid-term elections in the US, said that he was against those international laws that limit the actions of the US.
Mr. Rubio rejected accusations of violations of international law by the Donald Trump administration in the case of the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, the former president of Venezuela, and the ground attack on vessels in the Caribbean carrying drugs to the United States.
The American Secretary of State also emphasized in his speech that the goal of the US and Israel's war in Iran is to prevent Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He added that this issue is urgent because the "extreme Shiite clerics" in the Islamic Republic have a "developmental mentality."
He compared the Iranian government to the North Korean government led by Kim Jong Un and said: "I am not going to justify the terrible events that happened there. I will just say that he [Kim] is not a development person. "He is not looking for a ground attack on Japan or, for example, China or other countries."
Referring to the fact that the International Criminal Court intends to prosecute American officials or soldiers, Mr. Rubio said: "The Americans have never agreed to be under the jurisdiction of this court."
He said that if this court wanted to enforce its rulings against American citizens, Washington would respond by using force.
Quoting the Roman general Pompey, the US Secretary of State said that the US response would be: "Don't speak laws to men with swords in their hands."
