Rubio “Goal Is to Destroy Iran’s M*ssiles and Navy”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the primary objective of the U.S. military operation against Iran is to destroy the country’s ballistic m*ssile capabilities and its naval forces. Rubio said the mission focuses on eliminating Iran’s ability to launch m*ssiles, destroying launchers and factories that produce them, and dismantling naval assets that threaten global shipping and U.S. allies. Rubio said the effort is aimed at removing what the administration views as a major security threat in the region and preventing Iran from using m*ssiles or naval power to destabilize neighboring countries. He added that weakening these capabilities would help make the region and the broader world safer once the mission is completed.
