If you knew then what you know now, why did you start in the first place! Rubio is already longing for the days before the U.S.-Iran war!
It's only been two months, and Rubio is already reminiscing about the "glorious old times" of the Strait of Hormuz.
In a speech at the White House podium, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio candidly admitted: The goal of this exhausting U.S.-Israel war was actually embarrassingly absurd. Now all he wants is to return to the status quo before the conflict began—restoring the Strait of Hormuz to a state free of mines and tolls, allowing unrestricted passage for all parties.
Clearly, anyone with eyes can see that America has been essentially tormenting itself. Originally, U.S.-Iran negotiations were going smoothly, with American objectives within reach. But then, a sudden military strike by the U.S. ruined everything—the favorable situation painstakingly built up was destroyed by its own hands.
Now that the damage is done, on one side, the U.S. Empire continues vigorously boasting about its "brilliant victories" and claiming full control of the situation; on the other, Rubio openly laments the stable strategic advantage the U.S. once held over Tehran before the war began.
After all this war and chaos, America has gained nothing but lost hundreds of billions of dollars, while its Middle Eastern bases have been reduced to rubble. In the end, everything went contrary to expectations, leaving it humiliated and begging for time to turn back—truly a bitter irony.
