Rubio: Trump military policy for Iran is 'head for an eye'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned early Thursday that President Trump is prepared to direct an outsized military response to Iranian aggression, as the two sides continue to exchange fire nearly five months into the conflict. Rubio responded to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s statement that Tehran’s policy is an “eye for an eye” in the ongoing hostilities. The remarks signal an escalation in US-Iran tensions, with the Trump administration indicating a willingness to use disproportionate force in retaliation for Iranian attacks.
