Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) commented on the elimination of the commander of the Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani.
“Facing repeated IRGC attacks the U.S. & the President exercised admirable restraint while setting clear red lines & the consequences for crossing them. Iran’s Quds Force chose the path of escalation. They are entirely to blame for bringing about the dangerous moment now before us,” he tweeted.
“The defensive actions the U.S. has taken against Iran & its proxies are consistent with clear warnings they have received. They chose to ignore these warnings because they believed the President was constrained from acting by our domestic political divisions. They badly miscalculated,” added Rubio.
