US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the main objective of the ongoing US attacks on Iran is to destroy its ballistic missile capability and not to change the government there. He said that this operation is being conducted to eliminate the threat posed by Iran’s short-range ballistic missiles and its navy. This action is being taken especially keeping in mind the security of American naval ships and military bases. Rubio said that the current action has been quite successful, but more stringent attacks will be made in the future.
Marco Rubio also said that America already feared that if Iran was attacked, it would retaliate against America. According to intelligence information, Iranian commanders had already been ordered to respond immediately in case of any attack. If America had waited for the first attack, more lives of American soldiers could have been lost. For this reason the President decided to take the first step. Rubio said that if America had not attacked first and Iran had targeted American targets, then the question would have arisen as to why action was not taken earlier when the threat was known.
Completely destroy Iran’s missile power – Marco Rubio
Marco Rubio made it clear that the purpose of this mission is to completely destroy Iran’s missile power so that it cannot rebuild it. Besides, it also has to be ensured that it cannot pursue nuclear program under the guise of missile programme. Although he said that America wants Iran to have a leadership that is different from the fundamentalist religious regime, but this is not the goal of the current operation. Rubio warned that the toughest attacks were yet to come and the next phase would be even more damaging to Iran. He also said that this campaign will continue until all the targets set are achieved. Top leaders related to national security in Congress are being informed about this operation. America says that after this action the world will be more secure.
How many interceptor missiles does America make?
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that amid the ongoing military tension with Iran, the US Army may carry out more serious attacks in the coming days. He said, “The toughest blows of the US military are yet to come. The next phase will be even tougher for Iran. Rubio also said that America’s defense production capacity is limited. According to him, America is able to make only about 6 to 7 interceptor missiles every month. Interceptor missiles are part of the defense system, which are used to shoot down enemy missiles in the air. In comparison, he claimed that Iran produces more than 100 missiles every month. It has the capacity to produce thousands of suicide drones. This difference creates a strategic challenge for the US, as the production of defense missiles is said to be slower than that of attack weapons.
