Trump has teased on multiple occasions during the trip that he is cautiously close to making a deal with Iran regarding the country’s nuclear capabilities, with Trump maintaining that Iran could never have a nuclear weapon. Rubio echoed this sentiment on Thursday in his interview with Hannity, explicitly mentioning the country’s governing regime.
“Look, the regime – and our problem is not with the Iranian people,” Rubio said. “The Iranian people are a peaceful people, an ancient civilization and culture we admire greatly. Our problem is with a clerical regime that is behind every problem in the region: Hizballah, Hamas, the Houthis, the militias that have conducted attacks out of Iraq and Syria. They all – it – they all track back to the Iranian regime.”
