Statement from US Secretary of State Rubio on Iran: Sanctions do not necessitate large-scale military action

Rubio made evaluations about international issues in a statement to the press in Paris, where he went for the G7 Foreign Ministers Meeting.

Emphasizing that the size of the economic sanctions imposed by the USA against Iran is very large, Rubio stated that the Washington administration does not need to undertake large-scale military operations against the Tehran administration.

Rubio threatened that the United States would use its military power again if Iran "crosses some red lines" and said, "However, there is no need for large-scale military operations for now, because the blockade and economic sanctions are causing severe destruction to the Iranian economy." made his assessment.

"THE CONDITIONS THEY CONTINUE TO PUT FORWARD ARE ABSOLUTE"

Referring to the tripartite negotiations between Russia, the USA and Ukraine regarding Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Rubio stated that these talks were "very productive" and that their ultimate goal is to directly represent Europe at this table.

Rubio pointed out that Iran might want to make a deal and said:

"The problem is that the conditions they continue to put forward are absurd, so they are not even serious at the moment. But of course this may change. After all, the hardships they are going through will become unbearable at some point, eventually the people need to be able to feed themselves, pay their own fighters, security forces and other elements. Economic realities will penetrate the minds of even the most radical crazy people at some point. So I think that will have an impact as time goes on. The USA is always ready, a real agreement that can be agreed upon is possible, we are open to it."

Stating that Iran has demanded compensation, but they will not pay it, Rubio stated that the Tehran administration "can have a nuclear energy program like many countries in the world."
