Secretary of State Marco Rubio schooled CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan over Iran’s nuclear program.
President Trump shocked the world on Saturday night after he announced the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday.
According to reports, the US dropped at least 6 30,000-pound bunker busting bombs on the Fordow nuclear plant. The US claims it totally obliterated the underground plant.
On Sunday morning, Margaret Brennan asked Rubio if the US had intelligence that the Supreme Leader of Iran had ordered weaponization of its nuclear program.
Rubio said that is irrelevant because Iran already had 60% enriched uranium
“Why do they have 60% enriched uranium?” Rubio said. “The only countries in the world that have uranium at 60% are countries that have nuclear weapons because they can quickly make it 90%!”
Margaret Brennan continued to push back on Rubio
