"...Other presidents had an opportunity to do something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act. ... Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon. That is an unacceptable risk for the world." -Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

[PJMedia.com] Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke out on Operation Epic Fury twice on Thursday, first at President Donald Trump's Cabinet meeting and again before boarding a plane to head to Paris for the G7 Foreign Affairs Ministerial, where he'll meet with world leaders to talk about security concerns, specifically the situation in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine War. (Screengrab image: via YouTube-US Department of State)

He's made one thing clear: Iran was not, is not, and will not be a United States-only problem. It's a world problem. And it's time for other countries to step up.

In what many on social media are calling a "mic drop" moment, Rubio started by laying out the most important issue: Iran has been at war with the United States for 47 years, killing and attacking United States citizens.

"And other presidents had an opportunity to do something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act," he said. "And this president's not someone that's going to refuse to act. He's not going to leave a danger like this in place. He's going to address it, and that is what he is doing."

He then went on to explain that the people running Iran are "religious fanatics" and there was really no other way to stop them. "They're attacking embassies and hotels," he said.

"Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon. That is an unacceptable risk for the world," he said, adding, "By the way, the president's not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world. He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
