US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Monday that the hardest strikes on Iran are yet to come, signaling an escalation in the US-Israel operation against Iran. The top diplomat explained the military action was necessary due to an imminent threat, warning that Iran would retaliate against the US if attacked by Israel. Rubio declared the war will continue until objectives are met, emphasizing that Iran must not be allowed to possess ballistic missiles and drones. China condemned the strikes as violating international law and warned of regional spillover, while Russia discussed escalating tensions with Arab leaders.
