Marco Rubio: Iran Must Abandon Uranium Enrichment to Avoid Nuclear Threshold

During a recent Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the urgency of halting Iran's uranium enrichment activities. He warned that Iran is nearing the capability to develop nuclear weapons, stating, "They are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon. If they decided to do so, they could do so very quickly." Rubio highlighted that Iran's insistence on enrichment is viewed as a means to become a 'threshold' nuclear power, making them 'untouchable' and complicating diplomatic efforts. He reiterated the U.S. stance that any nuclear agreement must require Iran to cease all enrichment activities to ensure regional and global security.
