‘Things buried in mountain, under the ground?’ It’s ‘irrelevant’
In view of the US aerial attacks in Iran, the United States Secretary State Secretary Marco Rubio said on Sunday that it was “no matter” whether the US intelligence showed that Tehran had ordered the development of nuclear weapons, and explained why he thinks so.Rubio commented on the CBS show “Face the Nation”, where he was interviewed by host Margaret Brainon.Pointing to Rubio’s response, Brainon asked him if the United States “did not see” intelligence that (Irani) supreme leader (Ayatollah Khamenei) had ordered weapons (uranium). “He dismissed this question as “irrelevant” and proceeded to be back and forth with the host.“It doesn’t matter … They have everything to make (Iran) nuclear weapons. Why you will bury the mountain things at a distance of 300 feet under the ground,” Rubio, who is also the caretaker National Security Advisor, said while referring to the three nuclear sites targeted during the operation on Sunday.“Why will they have 60% rich uranium? You do not need 60% rich uranium. The only country in the world that has uranium at 60% is the countries that have nuclear weapons, because it can quickly make 90. Why they have a space program?In addition, Brainon cited the testimony of the March Congress by American intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard at Iran’s nuclear program. In the leading days for the attacks, US President Donald Trump would say “the evaluation was wrong.”The testimony of Gabard was that Iran did not order the construction of nuclear weapons.Rubio replied, “This is a wrong representation. It’s not how the intellect is read. Now it is how the intellect is used,” Rubio replied.The United States carried out its attacks in the Islamic Republic under Operation Midnight Hammer. It marked its entry into the ongoing struggle of its colleague Israel with Iran, focused on the Iranian nuclear program.
