US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Friday that a nuclear-armed Iran could hold the Middle East and the United States hostage, saying Washington must ensure Tehran never acquires nuclear weapons.
Speaking at the Federalist Society National Lawyers Convention in Washington, Rubio cited attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and described Iran’s leaders as “expansionists” and “revolutionaries.” “Imagine if they had a nuclear weapon; they would hold the entire region hostage. They would hold this nation hostage,” he said.
