Rubio: No Ground Troops, Iran War Ends in Weeks

0:00On March 27, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says America can hit all its goals in the fight against Iran without committing any ground troops, and the whole operation should end in just weeks, not months. He shared this update with reporters after talks with G-74 and ministers in France about the conflict that kicked off late last month between the moon, U.S., Israel, and Iran. The key targets include wiping out Iran's missile and drone systems, the factories making those weapons, plus its navy and air force, and Rubio says. They are ahead of schedule on most fronts. Those recent deployments of thousands more troops to the area are just to cover possible surprises and give President Donald Trump plenty of response. Choices if needed. Looking ahead, Rubio warns Iran might start charging fees for ships using the Strait of Hormuz, so he wants European and Asian nations that depend on. That trade route to pitch in on keeping it open once the dust settles.
