Washington. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday got angry at a CNN reporter who was repeatedly interrupting him while answering questions about the Iran war. Mr. Rubio told reporters present, “The man asked me a very specific question… Let me answer him because this is my press conference.” Pointing to CNN reporter Manu Raju, he said, “I was asked a very specific question, so you people can misrepresent it… The simple fact is that the President had decided that we would not be attacked first.”
Marco Rubio has justified the US-Israel attack on Iran by saying that the world will be a better place when radicals do not have weapons of destruction. He said, “Iran is run by crazy, religious fanatics. They have a dream of making nuclear weapons. They want to make nuclear weapons behind missiles, drones and a program of terrorism that the world will not even touch because of the fear of these things. And they are the weakest country ever. Now is the time to go after them.”
