Marco Rubio

I have and will continue to try and make it to as many events that are important to me personally and to my family as possible.

These countries should step up. I think a couple are thinking about it.

We think it’s in the interest of the world to protect shipping because the U.S. doesn’t get any oil from there.

We’ve actually encouraged our partners to join us in the effort of defending global shipping.

I raised it. I didn’t get a response.

The US squeezing of Iran’s economy had made further attacks unnecessary.

They're bleeding. They're bleeding economically.

We don't need to conduct military strikes if we're achieving the same objective through economic means and economic pressure.

One of my priorities would be pushing for real accountability at the U.N.

Right now, it hasn’t been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable but, in some cases, outrageous and ridiculous and really not realistic.

There’s been some advances made in what that architecture could look like post-conflict.

They, too, have experienced divisions in government and divisions in their own system.

I’m not in a political office. As you know, I just don’t comment on domestic politics.

I think the president took on something that other presidents have failed to do. Sometimes, when you do the right thing, you don't know whether it's popular or not, but it's still the right thing to do. Presidents are elected to take on…

If there’s a clear and present threat to shipping or to our forces in the region, we have a right to defend ourselves.

He addressed it even though oftentimes the right thing to do for the country — confronting difficult challenges for the security of our country — doing it isn’t necessarily popular, but necessary.

I wouldn’t say we’re at the verge of a breakthrough.

What kind of sickos are these people? They attack refrigerators. France is not even involved in this, really.

It is not uncommon to have a division of power in this country.

We obviously have to get past the conflict to get to that point.

If they want to avoid the actions we are going to take against the ICC, they should convince the ICC once and for all to do the things that are necessary to ensure that no American servicemember or leader ever has jurisdiction from the ICC…

The President would always prefer to solve this and every problem diplomatically. Sometimes that’s not possible, unfortunately.

Sometimes when you do the right thing – I don’t know if it’s popular or not, but it’s the right thing to do.

I think there’s bipartisan – I would hope there’s bipartisan – maybe not anymore – but there used to be bipartisan acknowledgment that a nuclear Iran would be completely unacceptable and dangerous for the United States.
