U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a fiery response after Iran reportedly targeted three American destroyers near the Strait of Hormuz, escalating fears of a wider Middle East conflict. Rubio defended Washington’s military posture, declaring, “Only stup-d countries don’t shoot back when shot at, and we’re not a stup-d country.” <br /> <br />The sharp warning comes as tensions soar between Tehran and Washington over naval operations, ceasefire talks, and control of one of the world’s most critical oil routes. President Trump is now under mounting pressure as global markets, allies, and military leaders closely watch the rapidly intensifying standoff in the Gulf. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />#MarcoRubio #Iran #Trump #StraitOfHormuz #BreakingNews #USIran #MiddleEast #WorldNews #USNavy #Warships #Geopolitics #TrumpNews #IranNews #GlobalTensions #Politics<br /><br />~HT.410~PR.498~ED.532~
