国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周二对总统唐纳德·特朗普对伊朗发动的打击行动进行了迄今为止最直率的辩护之一,他严厉驳斥了批评意见,并将伊朗政权描述为“疯子”,同时辩称总统在正确的时刻采取行动以阻止德黑兰获取核武器。
“让我用简单的英语向你们解释一下,好吗?伊朗是由疯子、宗教狂热分子疯子统治的,”卢比奥告诉记者。
“他们有拥有核武器的野心,”卢比奥说。“这是他们有史以来最虚弱的时候。现在是时候打击他们了。”
卢比奥表示,特朗普做出了“正确的决定”,在伊朗能够保护其核计划之前拆除其军事能力。
“总统决定打击他们,摧毁他们的导弹、海军和无人机……这样他们就永远无法拥有核武器,”卢比奥说。

他承认“会有代价”,但辩称这比让伊朗拥有核武器要低得多。
“这比让伊朗拥有核武器要付出的代价小得多,”他说。
当被追问以色列是否决定了行动时机时,卢比奥的言辞明显变得更加尖锐。
“你的说法是错误的,”他告诉一位暗示美国采取行动是因为以色列即将发动袭击的记者。
卢比奥周一证实,以色列准备独立采取行动。
“我们知道以色列会采取行动。我们知道这会引发对美军的袭击,”卢比奥说。“我们也知道,如果我们不先发制人……我们将遭受更高的伤亡。”
他周二强调,最终决定权在总统唐纳德·特朗普手中。
“总统认定我们不会先受到攻击,”卢比奥说。“如果你告诉美国总统,如果我们不先发制人,将会有更多人死亡和受伤,总统会选择先发制人。”
来自路易斯安那州的共和党众议长迈克·约翰逊在参加机密简报会后表示,以色列“决心采取行动……无论是否得到美国支持”,并且美国官员认为“需要协调一致的回应”。
“我相信他们做了正确的事,”约翰逊说。
尽管卢比奥对伊朗神职人员领导的言辞严厉,但政府官员强调,这次行动的目标不是推翻政权,而是摧毁其军事能力。

卢比奥多次将此次行动描述为摧毁伊朗弹道导弹、发射装置、无人机能力和海军资产。
“伊朗不能拥有核武器,”他说。“它不能拥有为核武器计划而隐藏的那些东西。”
到目前为止,美国和以色列的打击主要针对导弹基础设施和军事设施。官员们尚未表明核浓缩设施是此次行动的主要目标。
一些民主党人质疑政府是否展示了对美国的迫在眉睫的威胁。

“伊朗对美国没有迫在眉睫的威胁,”弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员马克·华纳在简报会后说。“这是对以色列的威胁。我们把对以色列的威胁等同于对美国的迫在眉睫的威胁,那么我们就处于未知领域了。”
康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲在机密简报会后表示:“我不知道目标是什么,也没有得到任何额外的澄清。”
卢比奥对这些批评不屑一顾,他预测反对者在简报会后会声称“什么都没听到”,同时坚称政府遵守了国会通知要求。
“这是总统为应对真正威胁而采取的行动,”卢比奥说。“当这些激进神职人员不再能获得这些武器时,世界将变得更安全。”

Rubio says in ‘simple English’ Iran run by ‘lunatics,’ defends Trump strike as ‘right decision’
Secretary of State says Trump acted preemptively to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of his bluntest defenses yet of President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran Tuesday, sharply rejecting criticism and describing the regime as “lunatics” as he argued the president acted at the right moment to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
“Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics,” Rubio told reporters.
“They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons,” Rubio said. “This is the weakest they’ve ever been. Now is the time to go after them.”
Rubio said Trump made the “right decision” to dismantle Iran’s military capabilities before they could shield a nuclear program.
“The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones … so that they can never have a nuclear weapon,” Rubio said.

He acknowledged “there will be a price to pay,” but argued it would be far lower than allowing Iran to become nuclear-armed.
“That is a much lower price to pay than having a nuclear armed Iran,” he said.
Rubio grew visibly sharper when pressed on whether Israel dictated the timing of the operation.
“Your statement is false,” he told one reporter who suggested the U.S. acted because Israel was about to strike.
Rubio confirmed Monday that Israel was prepared to act independently.
“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,” Rubio said. “And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them … we would suffer higher casualties.”
He emphasized Tuesday that the decision ultimately rested with President Donald Trump.
“The president determined we were not going to get hit first,” Rubio said. “If you tell the president of the United States that if we don’t go first, we’re going to have more people killed and more people injured, the president is going to go first.”
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said after a classified briefing that Israel was “determined to act … with or without American support,” and that U.S. officials concluded “a coordinated response was necessary.”
“I am convinced that they did the right thing,” Johnson said.
Despite Rubio’s harsh rhetoric toward Iran’s clerical leadership, administration officials have emphasized that the mission is not aimed at overthrowing the regime but at dismantling its military capabilities.

Rubio repeatedly framed the operation as focused on destroying Iran’s ballistic missiles, launchers, drone capabilities and naval assets.
“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he said. “It cannot have the things it was hiding behind to have a nuclear weapons program.”
So far, U.S. and Israeli strikes largely have targeted missile infrastructure and military facilities. Officials have not indicated that nuclear enrichment sites have been the primary focus of the campaign.
Some Democrats questioned whether the administration demonstrated an imminent threat to the United States.

“There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. It was a threat to Israel,” Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said after the briefing. “We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States. Then we are in uncharted territory.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said after the classified briefing, “I have no idea what the objective is, and I didn’t get any additional clarity.”
Rubio brushed aside the criticism, predicting opponents would emerge from briefings claiming they “didn’t hear anything” while insisting the administration complied with congressional notification requirements.
“This is an action by the president to address a real threat,” Rubio said. “The world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons.”
