Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech on Feb. 14 that bore a strong warning for European leaders, telling them they have been trapped in a “dangerous delusion” since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
His speech was made against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s insistence that diplomacy is the best path forward with Iran—even as a second massive aircraft carrier headed toward the region.
Meanwhile, Iran’s regime flexed its muscles with live military drills in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, just a day before nuclear talks with the United States resume.
