YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O'Brien is joined by LBC's Washington Correspondent Simon Marks as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been forced to backtrack on his Iran comments.
Rubio told reporters ahead of a classified briefing to Congress members that Israel made US join the attack on Iran.
Rubio had previously said that 'a plan from Israel to attack Iran spurred the Trump administration to take pre-emptive strikes.'
His statement was then contradicted by US President Donald Trump who said on 3 March 'if anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand.'
Rubio then told reporters by way of backtracking (and without reference to his original statement): 'I told you, this had to happen anyway, the president made a decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not going to be allowed to hide behind its ballistic missile program.'
Once the president made a decision that negotiations were not going to work … the decision was made to strike saying 'the bottom line is this. We, the president, determined we were not going to get hit first.'
