US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday that Iran will continue to pay a high price until it comes back to its “senses,” adding that the Iranians didn’t seem to ready to make a deal again.
His comments come as the United States continues consecutive nights of attacks on Iran, with US President Donald Trump vowing on Wednesday to destroy an Iranian bridge or power plant every time Iran targets a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Iran is begging us. Both directly and indirectly. Let’s do a deal. Let’s talk. Let’s talk. Iran is begging every day. The problem with Iran is every time they make a deal, the people that are in charge there, they either break it or they want to change it. So it looks like they’re not ready to make a deal,” Rubio said, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of ASEAN meetings in Manila.
“The price will continue to get higher every single night until they come to their senses.”
He reiterated that the US’ main interest is to have a denuclearized Iran adding that despite the Iranian’s “tough talk” they are suffering tremendously.
