Rubio says US strikes on Iran were meant to preempt Israeli attack

Marco Rubio said the United States launched strikes against Iran to preempt retaliation for an expected Israeli attack. He explained that the U.S. action was triggered by Israel's plan to launch its own strike.

Rubio warned Iran that the 'hardest hits' from the U.S. are yet to come, signaling an escalation in the conflict. He also commented on an attack on the U.S. consulate in Dubai.
