US Secretary Of States Marco Rubio Elaborates Donald Trump’s Narrative Of Kharg Island.

Washington DC; March 2026: The US President Donald Trump yesterday (30th March early morning IST) have said to occupy Kharg Island if Iran does not heed to the 15 peace points proposed by the United States. Thereafter in the late evening US Secretary Of States Marco Rubio while briefing media personnel about the President’s decision reiterated that, it’s important to remember the objectives of this operation from the very beginning. We were going to; we are destroying Iran’s navy. We are destroying their ability; their missile launchers by a significant percentage. We’re going to wipe out their defense industrial base, meaning their ability to make new missiles and new drones in the future, because it posed a great threat to the region. This Iran that you’re seeing now, this is Iran at its weakest point. Imagine them two years from now if they had thousands of more missiles to thousands of more missile launchers and factories to make even more. That was an unacceptable risk, it needed to be addressed, and President Trump is addressing it”.

While further stating Rubio have said, “Now, they are making threats about controlling the Hormuz Straits in perpetuity, creating a tolling system and the like.  That’s not going to be allowed to happen. And the President has a number of options available to him, if he so chooses, to prevent that from happening. Obviously, I’m not going to discuss what those options are, and we’re not going to discuss military tactics. The Department of War would be in charge of those things.  I’d refer you to them, but obviously they’re not going to discuss it with you either. But there is a way forward here to achieve our objectives. We are going to achieve our objectives in a matter of weeks, not months”.

When asked about taking the oil of Kharg Island means taking the troops out – Marco Rubio asserted, “the Iranians are threatening that they are going to set up some permanent system in the Straits of Hormuz where they get to decide who goes through international waterways. That will never be allowed to happen.  By the way, the rest of the world should take note of that. They have more at stake there than we do.  We get very little of our energy in this country coming through the Straits of Hormuz.  The rest of the world gets a lot more. That said, the President has several options at his disposal, and the Department of War is preparing optionality for the President for this and various other contingencies that might arise. That’s what always needs to happen in situations like this”.

The Secretary Of States have further wished that the Americans and millions around the world should understand that the US led force have achieved its objective, by destroying the Iranian Navy, Airforce, factories much ahead of schedule. The war is now a matter of weeks and not months.

When asked upon Trump’s Truth Social Post wherein the President has affirmed that negotiating with a new regime in Iran proves to be fruitless, and hence it is wiser to eliminate all of their electricity generating plants, all their oil wells, and Kharg Island, and possibly all desalinisation plants, which we have purposely not yet touched, Rubio said, “if the Iranian regime had come forward at any point in the past and said we’re going to walk away from our nuclear ambitions, we’re going to do nuclear energy the way every other country in the world primarily, almost every other country in the world does it, and that is through a peaceful means in which you bring in the fuel and it’s supervised and so forth, and we’re not, we’re going to stop supporting terrorist groups across the region. Every single terrorist group in this region has a link to the Iranian regime. Every single one:  the Houthis, Hizballah, Hamas, the Shia militias that are attacking everyone out of Iraq”.

He further added, “every single one of these groups and all the destabilisation in this region tracks directly back to the Iranian regime. Those things have to be addressed. And if Iran had been willing to address those in the past, we wouldn’t be having this interview on this topic right now. Their refusal to do so and their continuing move towards one day acquiring a nuclear capability – these people are lunatics. They are insane. They are religious zealots who can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon because they have an apocalyptic vision of the future.  And all of their neighbors know that, by the way, which is why all of their neighbors have been supportive of the efforts we’re conducting”.

It is mention worthy that President Trump in his Truth Social Post has given the notion of a more reasonable Iranian regime those who were attributed as lunatics by Marco Rubio. In support of his statement Rubio asserted that there are other groups of people within Iran who now, given everything that’s happened, are willing to move in a different direction for their country. Instead of spending their wealth, billions of dollars, supporting terrorists or weapons, will spend that money helping the people of Iran. The people of Iran are incredible people. The people who lead them, this clerical regime, that is the problem. And if there are new people now in charge who have a more reasonable vision of the future, that would be good news for the US, and the rest of the world.

The Secretary was candid about the expansion of the Iran war by commenting: “it to be an operation with a specific objective. Number one, the destruction of their air force. Number two, the destruction of their navy. Number three, the severe diminishing of their missile launching capability. And number four, the destruction of their factories so they can’t make more missiles and more drones to threaten us in the future. All of this so that they can never hide behind it to acquire a nuclear weapon. That was our objective from the beginning; that remains our objective now. We are on pace and in fact ahead of schedule on some of those things, and we are going to achieve those things in a number of weeks, not in a number of months”.
