We Will Destroy the Missile Manufacturing Plants: US Secretary of State

“The United States is taking part in operations against the Iranian regime, which is the world’s leading hostage-taker and state sponsor of terrorism,” stated US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Rubio highlighted that the goal of the operation is to weaken the Iranian regime's missile capabilities and eliminate its potential in this area. “The objectives of the mission against the Iranian regime are clear — to destroy Iran's capability to launch missiles. To destroy the factories that produce those missiles. To eliminate their fleet,” said the US Secretary of State.

Rubio accused Tehran of destabilizing the region, noting that Iran conducts attacks on energy infrastructure, civilians, and embassies in neighboring countries. “They are trying to hold the world hostage. There has never been a worse crime in the world than the hostage-taking issue presented by Tehran’s clerical regime. They are the worst criminals in the world,” emphasized Rubio.

Rubio stated that the world will be safer when the mission is completed.
