🚨 JUST NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio is GOING OFF on Iran's pirate navy holding civilians hostage in the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters

"They're sitting DUCKS, isolated, vulnerable, and at least 10 sailors have already died."

"They're held hostage just as the regime slaughtered tens of thousands of their own people for peaceful protest!"

"Commercial crew members have been stranded out at sea because Iran is conducting something that's not just CRIMINAL, but it's DESPARATE and destructive." 🔥

🚨 MARCO RUBIO IMMEDIATELY DROPS TRUTH NUKES: "This [Project Freedom] is a defensive operation. This is a defensive operation. And what that means is very simple. There's no shooting unless we're shot at first."

"We're not attacking them. We're not, but if they are attacking us, so they're attacking a ship, you need to respond to that!"

"You're not going to let some fast boat come up on the ship and shoot it up. We're going to respond to it, and we've been successful at it!"

🚨 WOW! Sec. Marco Rubio just NAILED IT on the countries constantly crying about "international law," yet going soft on Iran unleashing violence in the Strait

"I LOVE it because everybody always talks about 'international law' — this is very clear. International waterways, no country can control them! There is no international law that allows you to say 'I'm going to put mines in an international body of water and I'm going to blow up ships that don't listen to us and try to go through!'"

"That's what Iran is doing. This is a CRIMINAL act and someone needs to do something about it. Something needs to be done."

"It's completely illegal, completely illegitimate and completely unacceptable. And that's why the United States military is guiding stranded commercial ships safely through the strait and is working to restore freedom of navigation and putting an end to these efforts to hold the global economy hostage."

"So far, as a proof of concept and as a proof of function, two U.S. flag merchant ships have successfully gone through the Strait of Hormuz."

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio drops this EPIC line on Iran

"It really is important for them to understand this: they really SHOULD NOT TEST the will of the United States, at least not under President DONALD TRUMP." 🔥

"He has proven time and again that he will back up what he says. And if they test him, ultimately they will LOSE."

"The hard way, the easy way, the long way, the short way, they will lose."

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 He's good at this

🚨 LMAO! Marco Rubio as Acting Press Secretary: "There's NO way I can figure out who to call on! I am just gonna press right in the middle. The back row. I can't—go ahead!"

The man is straight to business, taking over Karoline's job 🤣🤣

🚨 NOW — MARCO RUBIO: They get 2 questions? You ask 2 questions, and I'll give you 1 answer! And I'll pick the one I like better.

I can see Marco is quickly sinking into his new job as press secretary, as expected 🤣

🚨 SEC. MARCO RUBIO JUST SAID IRAN HAS 2 CHOICES

"It could be one that leads [Iran] to reconstruction, stability and not posing a threat to the world."

"The alternative is growing isolation economic collapse and ultimately total DEFEAT!" 🔥

🚨 MARCO IS UNLEASHING ON THE DEMOCRATS!

"[Iran] is trying to make this some NEW NORMAL! Under NO circumstances can we EVER allow them to normalize the fact that they get to BLOW UP commercial ships and put mines in the water!"

"So the response to that is we're going to blockade YOUR ships. If everyone's ships are not getting out, YOUR ships are not getting out either."

"That's not an active or that's a defensive measure, it's a counter to what they have decided to do. You know what is an act of war — putting mines in the water!"

"Why don't the members of Congress, whoever it is, is complaining about it, they should be all over that!"

"These guys put mines in the water, that alone, mining in the water is illegal, period, under any circumstances, and they've done it."

🚨 ALL EYES on Marco Rubio, he's the man of the moment!

🚨 JUST NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio says Cuba is FAILING because Venezuela is no longer giving them free oil

Cuba is next! 🇺🇸🇨🇺

"They're incompetent communists. The only thing worse than a communist is an incompetent one!"

"There's no oil blockade on Cuba per se. Here's what's happening with Cuba. Cuba used to get free oil from Venezuela. They used to give them a bunch of free oil. They would take like 60% of that oil and resell it for cash."

"It wouldn't even go to benefit the people. So the only blockade that's happened is the Venezuelans have decided we're not giving you free oil anymore."

"The problem with Cuba is worse. Their economic model doesn't work!"

"It doesn't work. And the people who are in charge can't fix it. And the reason that I can't fix it is not just because they're communists."

🚨 MARCO RUBIO ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DEBATE WITH POPE LEO:

"What the President basically said is that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon because they would use it against places that have a lot of Catholics and Christians and others for that matter!"

"It goes back to the central point. I think the President, without trying to speak for him, but I think I can characterize it this way. He doesn't understand why anybody, leave aside the Pope."

"The President and I for that matter, I think most people, I cannot understand why ANYONE would think that it's a good idea for Iran to ever have a nuclear weapon."

"Look what they're doing with the Straits right now. They're holding the whole world hostage."

"They have these sailors on commercial ships that are going to starve to death out there. They don't care. They don't care that this is melting the economies around the world, even of their own allies."

"This is what they're doing with the Straits. What do you think they would do if they had a nuclear weapon? They would hold the world hostage with that nuclear weapon. That's what they would do."

🚨 LMAO! Sec. Marco Rubio is a NATURAL at handing the press

Q: "Your meeting with SOUTHCOM, there was a map of Cuba behind you. What did you discuss on Cuba?"

RUBIO: "I'm not gonna tell YOU what I discussed!"

"Cuba's in SOUTHCOM, you know? [...] There HAPPENED to be a map of Cuba, because it's closest thing that's SOUTHCOM to the US."

"We have maps of other countries!" 🔥

Cuba is definitely next.

🚨 LMFAO! Acting press sec. Marco Rubio says it's TOTAL CHAOS as he tries calling on the correct reporter, filling in for Karoline Leavitt

"This is CHAOS, guys!"

"In the black. You in the black! Yes ma'am. Where—no, you, no, you BOTH are wearing black. No, you don't have black, you have blue on! I'm color blind, but I know blue and black. Right there. Yes ma'am. NO, you, the first one I called on!"

😂😂😂

🚨 SECRETARY MARCO RUBIO JUST TRUTH NUKED THE WHOLE WORLD

"They could make our gas $8 a gallon and we wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING about it!"

"A nuclear-armed Iran could do whatever the HELL they want with the Straits — and there's NOTHING anyone would be able to do about it!"

"And that's one of the many reasons, apart from the massive loss of life and a nuclear strike, why Iran can never have a nuclear weapon."

"I mean, so this is an example of if they had a nuclear weapon, they closed the Straits and they would tell the world, what are you going to do about it?!"

"We have a nuclear weapon, we can attack you with it. That's the world NONE of us want to leave behind."

"It won't happen under this President's watch, but some future President and future Americans will have to deal with this. So just one more example by these guys can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon."

He said it perfectly.

🚨 NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio confirms "Operation Epic Fury is over"

That means Democrats' War Powers resolution BS is 100% dead on arrival!

"The operation is OVER. Epic Fury...the president notified Congress. We're done with that stage of it. We're now on to this Project Freedom."

🚨 SEC. MARCO RUBIO ON THE IRANIAN PEOPLE:

"President Trump is heartbroken by these images."

"No freedom, no opportunity to express yourself."

"This is a VICIOUS regime, guys."

"These are people that hang people from cranes in the town square so everyone can see."

🇺🇸🇮🇷

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio calls on the whole WORLD to diplomatically and economically isolate Iran if they continue terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz

"Just outrageous. That needs to stop and it needs to end. And if it doesn't, then the world should be diplomatically and economically isolating Iran as well!"

"But if we live in a world where global shipping lanes can be taken over by countries that'll have a direct impact on Americans in the short and the long term, and we can't let it start by Iran doing it. And we're the only ones that can do anything about it."

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio just DIRECTLY ripped the United Nations by name for REFUSING to do anything about Iran terrorizing innocent vessels in the Strait

"We're going to the UN. Everybody LOVES the UN, right? We're trying to go to the UN, and we're saying, OK, countries of the world condemn this!"

"Say that it is wrong for you to put mines there. It is wrong for you to shoot at commercial vessels. Guys, that's what we're talking about here."

"These guys are BOMBING commercial vessels. They're not bombing naval vessels. They're bombing commercial tankers!"

"It's just outrageous. That needs to stop, and it needs to end. And if he doesn't, then the world should be diplomatically and economically isolating Iran as well."

The UN is USELESS!

🚨 WOW! President Trump just unveiled what could be a possible new logo for NICE — National Immigration and Customs Enforcement

The press would have to call them "NICE" agents 24/7, while they mass deport 🤣

He's leaning in on it!
