The US Secretary of State said the strikes on Iran were caused by Israel's actions.
One of the reasons for the launch of American strikes on Iran was Israel's actions, US Secretary of State Rubio said.
“We knew Israel was going to take some action. We knew it would involve an attack on U.S. forces, and we knew that if we didn't take preventative action before they launched those attacks, we would suffer more serious losses,” he said at the Capitol.
Rubio said that if the US had waited for Iran to attack, “we would have suffered much more serious losses.”
American Democrats have already criticized these statements.
Congressman Joaquin Castro wrote that Rubio's words indicate that Israel “endangered American troops by insisting on attacking Iran.” “This is unacceptable for the president and unacceptable for a country that calls itself our ally,” he emphasized.
