️🇺🇸🇮🇷 US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on threats to American forces and shipping in the region:
"If there is a threat to our forces in the area, we will act against them. If there is a threat to shipping, we have been protecting shipping for some time. So if there is a clear and present threat to shipping or our forces in the area, we have a right to defend ourselves.
All of this is determined by the level of threat and whether they are pursuing us or may pursue us. I mean, it's just normal."
