Rubio Lays Down ‘Trump’s Law’ In 5 Words When Asked About Iran

For those who don’t understand the determined nature of our president when it comes to confronting the despotic Iranian regime, Secretary of State Marco Rubio — mincing no words, as usual — laid down Trump’s Law.

“I saw Araghchi, the [Iranian] Foreign Minister, the other day say something about their policy is ‘an eye for an eye,’” Rubio told reporters. “The president’s policy is ‘a head for an eye.’ I mean, honestly, that’s what it’s gonna be. They will pay a very heavy price for the things they’re doing.”

“They’re already paying a very heavy price,” he continued, before taking a shot at the mainstream media. “You guys don’t know it because you don’t cover it; you’re not in Iran; you’re not in the street; they don’t have a free media. But they’re going to continue to pay a very heavy price; their industrial base has been decimated; their defense industrial base has been decimated. They’re losing launchers; they’re losing radars every single night. They are suffering billions of dollars in damage, and their economy’s a disaster.”

Rubio then turned to the issue of other countries thinking the Iranian regime could be negotiated with:

But despite all that, these people who are calling us every day, begging, “Let’s do a deal,”  they send us messages through other countries, third countries, I mean, they’re running out of countries to send. I had countries here coming up to me, “Oh, I just spoke to the Iranians. They want to do a deal.” The problem is, every time these people do a deal, they either break it or after they make it they want to change the deal. So they’re probably not ready to do a deal yet, but they will be soon, because the price they’re paying is very high, despite their tough talk and their flowery language and their stupid LEGO videos they put out.

“I’ve never seen them, but they put these things out on social media,” he noted. “Despite all that bravado, they are suffering tremendously, and they’re going to suffer more until they come to their senses. They’re not there yet, unfortunately.”
