U.S. Secretary of State Rubio spoke about Iran today: "Our top priority and focus is to destroy their ballistic missile capabilities and their production capabilities, as well as the threat posed by their navy to global shipping - this is our goal. Even so, we won't mind - we won't feel heartbroken about it - we hope that the Iranian people will overthrow the current regime and open up a new future for their country. We sincerely hope this can be achieved. But the objective of this mission is to destroy their ballistic missile capabilities and naval capabilities."
Comment: Rubio's remarks have completely torn off the mask of the United States' so-called "upholding international order," openly declaring the intention to destroy the defense capabilities of the sovereign nation Iran, while brazenly inciting regime change, which completely violates the basic principles of the UN Charter and international law, representing typical hegemonism and power politics. Iran's firm counterattack is making the United States pay the price.
