‘They Would Hold the World Hostage’: Rubio on Iran Nuclear Threat

‘They Would Hold the World Hostage’: Rubio on Iran Nuclear Threat Marco Rubio is taking a harder line on Iran and his warning is built around one phrase: “holding the whole world hostage.” Rubio said Iran’s actions around the Strait of Hormuz show exactly why Tehran cannot be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. The strait is one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints, and Rubio argued that Iran is already using it to pressure the world. In official remarks, he described Iran’s position as telling other countries they cannot pass through unless Iran allows it. #MarcoRubio #IranNuclearThreat #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USPolitics #NationalSecurity #TrumpAdministration #AmericaFirst #MiddleEast #PoliticalDebate
