Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of his bluntest defenses yet of President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran Tuesday, sharply rejecting criticism and describing the regime as «lunatics» as he argued the president acted at the right moment to prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

«Let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics,» Rubio told reporters.

«They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons,» Rubio said. «This is the weakest they’ve ever been. Now is the time to go after them.»

Rubio said Trump made the «right decision» to dismantle Iran’s military capabilities before they could shield a nuclear program.

«The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones … so that they can never have a nuclear weapon,» Rubio said.

He acknowledged «there will be a price to pay,» but argued it would be far lower than allowing Iran to become nuclear-armed.

«That is a much lower price to pay than having a nuclear armed Iran,» he said.

Rubio grew visibly sharper when pressed on whether Israel dictated the timing of the operation.

«Your statement is false,» he told one reporter who suggested the U.S. acted because Israel was about to strike.

Rubio confirmed Monday that Israel was prepared to act independently.

«We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces,» Rubio said. «And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them … we would suffer higher casualties.»

He emphasized Tuesday that the decision ultimately rested with President Donald Trump.

«The president determined we were not going to get hit first,» Rubio said. «If you tell the president of the United States that if we don’t go first, we’re going to have more people killed and more people injured, the president is going to go first.»

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said after a classified briefing that Israel was «determined to act … with or without American support,» and that U.S. officials concluded «a coordinated response was necessary.»

«I am convinced that they did the right thing,» Johnson said.

Despite Rubio’s harsh rhetoric toward Iran’s clerical leadership, administration officials have emphasized that the mission is not aimed at overthrowing the regime but at dismantling its military capabilities.

Rubio repeatedly framed the operation as focused on destroying Iran’s ballistic missiles, launchers, drone capabilities and naval assets.

«Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,» he said. «It cannot have the things it was hiding behind to have a nuclear weapons program.»

So far, U.S. and Israeli strikes largely have targeted missile infrastructure and military facilities. Officials have not indicated that nuclear enrichment sites have been the primary focus of the campaign.

Some Democrats questioned whether the administration demonstrated an imminent threat to the United States.

«There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. It was a threat to Israel,» Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., said after the briefing. «We equate a threat to Israel is the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States. Then we are in uncharted territory.»

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said after the classified briefing, «I have no idea what the objective is, and I didn’t get any additional clarity.»

Rubio brushed aside the criticism, predicting opponents would emerge from briefings claiming they «didn’t hear anything» while insisting the administration complied with congressional notification requirements.

«This is an action by the president to address a real threat,» Rubio said. «The world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons.»

Iran’s drone swarm attacks unleash ‘exponential costs’ on US, prolonging war: ‘Asymmetric capability’

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Iran is waging a mass drone campaign across the Middle East, unleashing waves of low-cost, one-way attack drones also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), against Western-linked targets to impose «exponential cost on the U.S.,» a defense expert has warned.

As Tehran reportedly launched thousands of Shahed drones across the region and Iranian state media shared footage of underground stockpiles, Cameron Chell, CEO of drone maker and tech company Draganfly, said Iran’s strategy is designed to force high-end defenses to counter cheap aerial threats.

«Even a hundred of these drones in the hands of a decentralized unit can cause terror in a neighboring state like never before imagined,» Chell told Fox News Digital. «The Iranians cannot win the war with these drones, but like the [communist] Viet Cong [during the Vietnam War], they have an asymmetric capability that can prolong this war and create political pressure.»

«Iran can drive terror in unimaginable ways and drive exponential costs on the U.S. side, having to target these small, very hard-to-detect drone units,» he added.

Chell’s warning comes as tensions spiraled following Saturday’s joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran targeting nuclear sites, missile facilities and leadership that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several commanders.

The Iranian drones have proved deadly, having killed six U.S. service members in an attack on a tactical center in Kuwait earlier this week.

In Bahrain, drones reportedly identified as Iranian Shahed models smashed into the upper floors of the Era View Tower in Manama, about one mile from a U.S. Navy base.

An Iranian drone also struck a parking lot outside the U.S. Consulate in Dubai, while the United Arab Emirates said it intercepted Iranian missiles and drone attacks targeting the country.

«Based on the engine sound, the apparent attack angle and the implied speed, to the best of my knowledge, this was a Shahed-class one-way attack drone,» Chell said of the Dubai consulate attack video before suggesting the drone footage showed «a Shahed 191.»

Fars News Agency also released footage purporting to show scores of attack drones stockpiled in vast underground tunnels in Iran.

The video appeared to show rows of triangular-shaped drones on rocket launchers, missiles lined up, four to a launcher vehicle and walls adorned with Iranian flags and photographs of Khamenei. Outlets noted that the video’s timing and location remain unverified.

«It is hard to confirm that Iran has the capability now to produce these drones in these volumes during wartime,» Chell said of the stockpiling footage.

«To the extent they were producing these in those numbers, a more-than-significant portion would have been for delivery to Russia — which does not seem impossible. That said, the drones in the underground propaganda video are Shahed 191 drones.»

A new report from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace also underscored Chell’s comments on expense and range.

«Right now, Iran is using a mixture of ballistic missiles and attack drones,» said senior fellow Dara Massicot. «The methods are effective, but targeting drones in this way is resource-intensive and expensive, and it will drain certain types of interceptors quickly.»

«Ground-based air defense interceptor missiles are not infinite, and the United States and its partners and allies have had stockpile challenges in this area for years,» she added.

Another senior fellow, Steve Feldstein, added, «An important point is that the world is entering a new age of drone war as unmanned aircraft are proliferating on the battlefield in major conflicts and smaller ones.»

Physicist lawmaker warns US lacks clear plan for Iran’s enriched uranium

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

A House Democrat with a background in physics is sounding the alarm over what he views as a lack of a plan to deal with Iran’s nuclear sites during the U.S. offensive campaign.

Advertisement

After a classified briefing Tuesday with top administration officials, Rep. Bill Foster, D-Ill., said lawmakers were not presented with a clear plan to secure or neutralize Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium.

«We have heard that they never had a plan for that nuclear stockpile of enriched uranium — to destroy that, to seize it or to put it under international inspection,» he

The U.S. intervention was publicly justified by the Trump administration as a necessary step to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

U.S. forces have struck more than 1,700 targets across Iran, including ballistic missile launch sites, air defenses, naval assets and command centers. Core nuclear facilities, however, have not been among the primary targets.

«Until that happens, Iran will be very, very close to making — as many observers have pointed out in a nonclassified situation — Iran can use that material to make a handful of Hiroshima-style nuclear devices,» Foster told Fox News Digital. «Not the sort you can put on a missile, but the sort you can deliver by a number of other ways and are very hard to stop.»

Foster was referring to Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, material that, if weaponized, could be used to build a nuclear explosive device.

Experts note that building a compact warhead that fits on a ballistic missile is technically complex and requires advanced engineering. But a simpler, larger nuclear device — similar in basic concept to the bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945 — would not need to be miniaturized to fit on a missile. Such a device could not be delivered by long-range rocket but could theoretically be transported by other means.

Foster argued that containing Iran’s nuclear materials, most of which are buried deep underground, would likely require U.S. forces to enter Iran.

Recent satellite imagery shows damage to support buildings and access points at Iran’s Natanz enrichment site, though the deepest underground infrastructure at key nuclear facilities has not been confirmed as a primary target in the current campaign.

U.S. and international officials previously have acknowledged that while strikes can damage enrichment infrastructure, stockpiled enriched uranium stored underground may remain intact and potentially retrievable unless physically secured or removed.

«You have to go in there with boots on the ground and grab a bunch of equipment,» Foster said. «You have to go underground into those facilities and lose a lot of soldiers’ lives doing that.

«They’re unwilling to do that, or they’ve decided not to or they’ve decided it’s impossible. In any case, they did not present to us any plan that would actually get the material under control.»

Without securing the nuclear material, he argued, military operations may push Iran closer to a nuclear weapon than diplomatic negotiations would have.

«The only positive thing about the ayatollah is that he had a fatwa against building nuclear weapons,» Foster said. «Who knows what the next generation of ayatollahs are going to feel? They’re going to be under a lot of pressure from the IRGC, which was not so much against having a nuclear weapon.»

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the joint U.S.-Israeli operations, had previously issued a fatwa, a religious edict, opposing the pursuit of nuclear weapons. Analysts have long debated how binding or durable that ruling was.

At a White House briefing Wednesday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration believes Iran «wanted to build nuclear weapons to use against Americans and our allies,» framing the strikes as necessary to prevent Tehran from advancing its nuclear ambitions.

Missile suppression strategy faces ‘math problem’

Senior administration officials have emphasized that the current phase of the campaign is aimed at dismantling Iran’s ability to project force with missiles, drones and naval assets.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has highlighted strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile systems, air defenses and naval capabilities, describing the effort as a push to degrade the conventional tools Tehran uses to threaten U.S. forces and regional allies. 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio similarly has said the United States is working to «systematically take apart» Iran’s missile program, so it could not «hide behind» it to develop a nuclear weapon. 

While the broader justification for intervention centered on preventing a nuclear-armed Iran, the most immediate threat facing U.S. troops and partners has been Iran’s ongoing missile and drone launches. Administration officials contend Iran’s missile buildup was meant to create a deterrent buffer, shielding its broader strategic ambitions, including its nuclear program, from outside attack.

Lawmakers emerging from classified briefings said the campaign has become, in part, a question of sustainability.

«We do not have an unlimited supply,» Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., said of U.S. and allied interceptor inventories. He warned the conflict could become a «math problem,» balancing launch volumes against finite air defense munitions and the ability to replenish them without weakening readiness in other theaters.

«At some point — and we’re probably already in this — this becomes a math problem,» Kelly added.

He said he pressed defense officials on how interceptor stocks are being replenished and whether diverting munitions to the Middle East could strain U.S. readiness elsewhere.

«How can we resupply air defense munitions? Where are they going to come from? How does that affect other theaters?» he said. «The math on this currently seems to be an issue.»

Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said he also sought clarity on interceptor inventories but did not receive detailed answers.

«I am very concerned about that,» Kim said. «I did not get any specificity today. … Something akin to ‘trust us’ is not good enough for me.»

Republicans, however, pushed back on the notion that interceptor supplies are strained.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., said officials told lawmakers U.S. forces are «in great shape,» dismissing concerns about shortages.

Ehud Eilam, a former Israeli defense official and national security analyst, said that while a nuclear weapon remains the most serious long-term threat, missile and drone systems pose the most immediate danger if intelligence assessments conclude Iran is not on the verge of assembling a device.

«As long as it is estimated Iran cannot produce a nuclear weapon soon, then the focus moves to missiles and drones,» Eilam said, noting that ballistic missiles would ultimately be required to deliver any future nuclear warhead. Suppressing mobile launchers, crews and command networks can reduce Iran’s firing tempo, conserving interceptor supplies while degrading Tehran’s broader military capacity, he said.

The concern is not theoretical. 

During the intense June 2025 Iran–Israel conflict, U.S. forces reportedly fired more than 150 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors, roughly a quarter of the global inventory, along with large numbers of ship-based Standard Missile interceptors to shield allies.

Analysts note that replenishing high-end air defense systems such as Patriot, THAAD and SM-3 interceptors could take more than a year under current production rates.

The Pentagon also is balancing competing demands. The same missile defense systems used to protect U.S. bases and Gulf partners are being supplied to Ukraine to defend against Russian cruise missile attacks, creating what some analysts describe as a «zero-sum» competition for inventory between Europe and the Middle East.

«There is a limit to how many THAAD missiles can be used,» Eilam said. «These are not systems you can reproduce overnight.»

The White House and Pentagon could not immediately be reached for comment.
