Secretary of State Marco Rubio shut down CBS host Margaret Brennan during a fiery Face the Nation interview about Iran’s nuclear threat. Rubio proved he knew the facts better than the interviewer when challenged about Iran’s weapons plans.
Brennan tried to trap Rubio by asking if Iran’s leader ordered nuclear weapon development. She thought this was a key intelligence point. Rubio wasn’t having it and called her question irrelevant.
Rubio explained Iran already has everything needed to build nukes. He said they enrich uranium to 60% purity – way beyond civilian use. Only nuclear weapons countries do that.
The Secretary pointed out Iran’s space program is really for missile development. He asked why they’d need missiles unless planning nuclear warheads. These facts proved Iran’s dangerous intentions.
Brennan kept arguing about intelligence reports. But Rubio stood strong as the expert in the room. He knows national security better than any TV host.
This clash shows liberal media types think they understand security threats. But real leaders like Rubio focus on protecting America. They don’t get distracted by pointless debates.
Rubio’s strong performance highlights conservative leadership. We need clear-eyed defenders against threats like Iran. Weak media questions won’t keep us safe.
The Secretary made it simple: Iran seeks nuclear weapons and America won’t allow it. Period. Patriots understand this truth without fancy intelligence reports.
