US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the price for Iran’s recent escalation in violence will increase every night until leadership in Tehran “come to their senses,” while speaking with reporters on the sidelines of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Regional Forum on Thursday.
He claimed that Iran is begging to make another deal with Washington after the previous US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding collapsed, but noted that “it looks like they are not ready to make a deal.”
“The problem is that any time they make a deal, the people that are in charge either break it or they want to change it,” Rubio said.
He posited that Iran may be ready to make a deal in a few days, “as they continue to suffer great losses.”
Regarding US President Donald Trump’s position on how to deal with Iran, Rubio stated that Trump will take “a head for an eye,” referencing Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s previous claims that Iran operates with an “eye for an eye” strategy.
This is a developing story.
