U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Wednesday that the strike on Iran came at the 'critical moment' to prevent it from consolidating military capabilities that would have made its nuclear program immune to deterrence in the future. The decision was made to avoid further escalation and protect regional security. According to Rubio, such actions are necessary to maintain strategic balance and deter threats. The U.S. official emphasized that this measure is part of a comprehensive strategy to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
