Marco Rubio's mysterious words regarding Iran. “We are causing problems that I cannot talk about.”

On Tuesday, at the end of two days of meetings with the foreign ministers of the G7 countries in Paris, Marco Rubio met with journalists, telling them that one of the main topics of the meetings was the war with Iran.

The US Secretary of State noted that although Iran still shows no inclination to make concessions and the conditions imposed by Tehran are absurd, "eventually economic reality reaches the skull of even the most radical madman."

For this reason - as he said - there is no need to resume hostilities against Iran. He rejected suggestions that he was in favor of maintaining the current status quo.

Status quo means that the situation will remain static. Is not. It will develop. "I want to tell you that the economic campaign is so devastating that there is no need for major military action at this time," he said. Iran has never before been faced with the inability to sell energy on the global market as it is today. He has never faced this and other problems that we do, which I cannot talk about, but which have a huge impact on his economy, he added.

The American politician revealed that he raised the issue of support for European forces to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz at the G7 forum, but did not hear anything in response.

Part of the challenge that we face is that there are countries that say, "Well, we are ready to provide forces to defend shipping as soon as there is no risk of conflict." But if there was a risk of conflict, we wouldn't need them. It's a bit like "Catch 22," he said.

Most Americans want the war with Iran to end

Meanwhile, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday shows that the majority of Americans want the war with Iran to end. According to the study, 71 percent respondents, including 93 percent Democratic Party voters and 51 percent Republican Party voters supported ending the conflict started by Donald Trump together with Israel in February.

Reuters notes that the war with Iran has contributed to higher fuel prices, increasing inflationary pressure in the US economy. The survey shows that voters primarily expect actions to reduce the cost of living.
