Rubio: “This is a defensive operation” https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/06461f7f-9e94-4948-af8d-70be13f596c2 Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday said Project Freedom, the U.S. military operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, is a purely "defensive" operation.   "This is not an offensive operation. This is a defensive operation. And what that means is very simple: there's no shooting unless we are shot at first," he told reporters at a briefing. "You’re not going to let some fast boat come up on the ship and shoot it up. We’re going to respond to it."   #marcorubio #iran #trump #politics #cspan Wed, 06 May 2026 17:58:02 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://motube.smithandtech.com Rubio: “This is a defensive operation” https://motube.smithandtech.com/lazy-static/avatars/933c9118-81c8-4e69-a82c-512c3a13a060.jpg https://motube.smithandtech.com/videos/watch/06461f7f-9e94-4948-af8d-70be13f596c2 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://motube.smithandtech.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
