Iranian missiles could target numerous U.S. military installations in the region if war were ti erupt, putting thousand at risk
Sarah Fortinsky – The Hill April 23, 2025
Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned in a new interview that a potential war with Iran would be “much messier” and “more complex” than military engagements the American people have seen reported in recent years.
“Any military action at this point in the Middle East, whether it’s against Iran by us or anybody else, could in fact trigger a much broader conflict,” Rubio said in an interview with The Free Press published Wednesday.
Rubio said the hypothetical conflict “will not be the sort of thing that people have become accustomed to watching on television, which is, a couple of drones got shot down, but we took out a hundred fighters or whatever.”
“This will be more complex,” he added.
Rubio said President Trump is committed to staying out of an armed conflict and said that’s why he’s directed officials to jumpstart nuclear talks with Iran.
“Any sort of armed conflict in the region is going to be much messier than what people are used to seeing. And that’s why the president is so committed to the peaceful resolution, the prevention of an armed conflict. Although he reserves every right to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, he is for peace. He has said that repeatedly. And that’s why we want to end the war in Ukraine, if that’s possible,” Rubio said.
The remarks come after The Free Press’s Bari Weiss asked the secretary about former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson’s assertion that a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities would “almost certainly result in thousands of American deaths at bases throughout the Middle East, and cost the United States billions of dollars. … Those aren’t guesses. Those are the Pentagon’s own estimates. A bombing campaign against Iran will set off a war, and it will be America’s war.”
U.S. officials said they made “very good” progress in the second round of nuclear talks with Iran this past weekend and said they planned to meet again the following week.
“We agreed to meet again next week and are grateful to our Omani partners for facilitating these talks and to our Italian partners for hosting us today,” a senior U.S. administration official said.
Rubio said in the interview the U.S. is “a long ways away from any sort of agreement with Iran.”
“We recognize it’s difficult and hard. Oftentimes, unfortunately, peace is,” he continued. “But we’re committed to achieving a peaceful outcome that’s acceptable to everyone. It may not be possible, we don’t know.”
“I don’t even know if Iran knows how to make a deal. They’ve got their own internal political dynamics in their country they have to work through. But we would want to achieve a peaceful resolution to this and not resort to anything else, or even speculate about it at this point,” he added.
In iran they know that the USA wants to pick them off one by one
iran N korea china and russia
which is why if one is attacked they will all hit back
the houthis area very brave people
we should support anyone who fights the jew
There is a whole world of secret weapons, and Trump indicates that they might be brought out. His family got the Tesla Papers, remember, and Tesla was only emulating the Germans
It’s not beyond the bounds of possibility this whar is going to kick-off.
Surely Iran have multiple sleeper cells within the American home lands ready to cause major
sabotage & serious problems to inflict mayhem within.
Britain same situation, Imagine all the ‘young fellas’ abroad embroiled in the conflict, & all the Islamist’s left behind to exact revenge because the Christian nation (in their view) is attacking the Muslim Iranian nation.. It will be a far worse situation than the chew boy razor gangs exploiting the British women in the last world whar.. Of course the p O lice will side with the Muslims if any Brits counter attack in self defense. The laws & procedures are already enacted this way already.
it won’t be pretty.
Iran would kick the shit out of the Punk-US! A paper Tiger! The Jew-loving US ain’t kickin’ nobody’s ass! Thank goodness Iran, Russia & China have sane leaders who don’t let their hatred for the Jew-run west get the best of them, otherwise we’d have already been Nuked! Jewry may yet get us Nuked! Imagine if Jewry didn’t exist; the world might be peaceful, prosperous & multipolar. Jews are the turd in the punchbowl. The mortal enemy of Humanity, along with their Jew media. DEATH to Israel!!!
Who made the USA the final arbiter of nuclear weapons control? Is this ‘body’ aware that the USA has been using nuclear weapons on the soils of other nations since 1953 that is excluding what they did in Hagasaki and Heroshima? Who authorised the USA to use ‘depleted-uranium’ weapons in IRAQ?
Quote ““I don’t even know if Iran knows how to make a deal.” unquote. What? Rubio thinks Iranians are stupid and do not know/understand the mechanics of negotiation? This is why Americans hegemony is declining and they are hated all over the globe.
Iran port nuked, believe your eyes not Ziomedia spin:

Looks the same modus operendi as the Beirut port nuking.

Israel is making good use of the W-54 warheads it got from USA.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54
what planet are these usa officials on. Why should Iran give up its possible development of nuclear weapons when there is no reciprocal arrangement for israel to denuclearise as well.?
Rubio is tacitly admitting that they have accustomed us to their bloody wars and destruction abroad. They calculate that, by now, we will not be paralyzed with shock when they significantly up the decimation. How — by bringing it to our own doorsteps? Not just bomb scars in the V&A walls, but a hole in the ground where the V&A used to be? Where everything but the City itself is just a huge, burned-out vacant lot?
This is a big fat trap for the US to all into. Solution: no war. Do not start a fight.
modern warfare by bombing + missiles is the
most coward fight ever will be in history .
its like crushing cucarachas . japan knows,
germany knows, vietnamese knows .
punk USA is only able to fight little countries
without help like Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Serbia .
for bigger contrahents they always need vasalls .
yankee GET YOUR ASS KICKED !
Very suspicious. Why has Iran never demanded Israel to give up its nuclear weapons?
People like to be in Space because then, if you dislike your neighbour you can drop a rock on him and you never needed a nuke, as long as you can time it right
@ Charlie Ball. They say they have no nuclear weapons and don’t allow the IOWG in to check Dimona. They get away with this.
