In a revelation that has put the President Donald Trump’s strategy for the war in question, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the United States was forced to join the war after learning about an imminent Israeli attack on Iran.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday said the United States joined the war after learning about an imminent Israeli attack on Iran.
At a press conference, Rubio said the imminent Israeli attack on Iran would cause an Iranian retaliation against American forces in the region and that’s why Trump gave the go-ahead for the offensive.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed,” said Rubio.
