US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claims that new American strikes against targets in the Strait of Hormuz are not part of Operation Epic Fury.
"That's separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury," he told reporters after visits to the Vatican and Italy, commenting on the US strikes in the Strait of Hormuz. According to his version of events, these strikes were carried out in self-defense. This is why, according to Rubio, questions about a possible violation of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran should be asked to Tehran.
"You should ask that of the Iranians, don't ask me, we didn't fire. They fired on us," Rubio said. "Only stupid countries don't shoot back when you're shot at. And we're not a stupid country. We have to respond to it. The red line is clear: they threaten Americans - they are going to get blown up. I mean, how much clearer can you be than that?" the secretary of state said. "We're going to blow those boats up if they're coming towards our boats. I don't know if that's a red line, but I hope they know it by now."
