Marco Rubio

This wasn’t a regime-change move.

We have responses available that are devastating.

They want to negotiate, we’re ready to negotiate.

What happens next will depend on what they do.

It would hurt other countries’ economies a lot worse than ours.

It’s economic suicide for them if they do it.

I would encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil.

I called on Beijing to help prevent Iran from closing the strait.

Free speech, the first right to be amended to our U.S. Constitution, is no longer cherished given our current reality.

They have everything they need to build nuclear weapons.

We want to have an agreement with them, a diplomatic agreement, in which they have a civil nuclear program, but are not enriching and don't have weapons-grade material or weapons-grade capabilities laying around. It's that simple.

Our objective here is very straightforward. They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. They're not even going to get close to a nuclear weapon.

If they do that, the first people that should be angry about it are the Chinese government, because they take – a lot of their oil comes through there.

We achieved our objectives. We had three objectives yesterday, Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. We conducted a brilliant military operation under the command of President Trump.

If Iran was not a threat to the region, if the Iranian regime – because let me be clear, I'm talking about the Iranian people. If the regime was not a threat to the region, we wouldn't have to have any of these bases.

The president wants to resolve this diplomatically and peacefully.

We want peace deals with them, and that's up to them to decide.

They are the source of all instability in the Middle East.

We will defend our people, obviously. We'll defend our people.

They're not going to have a nuclear weapon. They're not even going to get close to a nuclear weapon.

This is very simple. The president wants to resolve this diplomatically and peacefully. He gave them a chance to do that.

The regime wants peace, we're ready for peace.

We achieved those objectives. We had three objectives yesterday, Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. We conducted a brilliant military operation under the command of President Trump.

This mission was a very precise mission. It had three objectives, three nuclear sites. It was not an attack on Iran. It was not an attack on the Iranian people. This wasn't a regime change move. This was designed to degrade and/or destroy…

We have done everything. We have bent over backwards, OK, to create a deal with these people.
