🔶 Rubio: Economic pressure is effective and there is no need to go to war with Iran.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who emphasized that Washington is still ready to reach an agreement with Iran and end the war, claimed that the economic sanctions and the naval blockade of Iran have been so effective that US President Donald Trump does not need to carry out a large-scale military operation in Iran to advance his goals.
At the same time, he accused Tehran of offering "unreasonable" terms and said that Iran doesn't even seem to be negotiating seriously at the moment.
On Tuesday, November 10, in Paris, after two days of meeting and talking with his colleagues in the Group of Seven, Rubio explained the effectiveness of economic pressure and the naval blockade against Iran in a meeting with American allies. He took a stand against the assessment that Washington's refusal to resume military operations means stagnation or a return to the previous situation and said: "The economic pain imposed on Iran now is extraordinary, and this pressure accumulates and increases every day."
