Rubio In Athens Warns Iran It Will Never Have A Nuclear Weapon
Rubio said any deal must ensure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon and warned Tehran’s military buildup could shield its program, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Athens for the US-Greece Strategic Dialogue, declaring that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon is a red line for President Donald Trump.
- Greece earned praise as a "strong and model NATO ally" on track to spend 5% of its GDP on defense this year, with more than 3.5% dedicated to core defense capabilities.
- Iran faces an economy in "total and complete freefall," Rubio claimed, blaming "radical Shia clerics" for spending revenue on Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iraqi militias rather than Iranian citizens.
- Vice President J.D. Vance stated earlier this week that any agreement must include a "meaningful" reduction in nuclear enrichment, while Rubio said Iran has "failed to take advantage of multiple opportunities" to negotiate.
- Energy markets reacted on Wednesday as Brent crude rose 0.64% to $101.23 following two separate attacks by Iran-backed Houthis on Saudi Arabia airports, disrupting regional supply security.
