In a grim admission of Washington's strategy of collective punishment, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly boasted that the White House intended to starve the Iranian population into submission through an ever-increasing economic blockade.
Speaking at the G7 foreign ministers' summit in Paris in remarks reported by international news networks, Rubio rejected Tehran's diplomatic position, arguing that while "Iran would love a deal," their terms remain "absurd" and "not even serious." ".
In exposing the brutal premise underlying the campaign of financial strangulation in the US, Rubio arrogantly predicted that Tehran's position would soon collapse under the weight of the severe economic blockade.
"At the end of the day, you've got to eat," declared the top US diplomat, loudly flagging Washington's reliance on armed poverty, food insecurity and hyperinflation to force the Islamic Republic into submission.
