US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that President Donald Trump had confronted the threat posed by Iran rather than leaving it for future administrations.

“It would have been very easy to do what multiple presidents before him have done, which is just ignore the Iran thing, leave it for the next guy,” Rubio said, speaking at Mar-a-Lago.

“But this president didn't do that. He confronted it because what Iran wants to do is not just destroy our country; it's destroy our way of life and threaten our children,” he added.

“We cannot live in a world in which the most radical, terroristic regime on the planet possesses a weapon of mass destruction,” Rubio said.
