Marc Rubio comments on Iran War
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke about the Iran War on March 31, 2026, revealing that the war would not end in a day or two, but they were close to concluding the conflict that has stretched on for over a month now.
“We can see the finish line,” Rubio claimed to Sean Hannity on Fox News (via USA Today) on the evening of March 31, 2026. “It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it’s coming,” he added, “We’re going to get to the point where our military will have achieved all the objectives of this mission.”
The U.S. and Israel launched the war on February 28, 2026, and it has now gone on for over four weeks. Trump had promised earlier that the war would not last over six weeks.
Despite initial pushback from Iran last week, White House has confirmed that U.S. and Iranian leaders are engaged in peace talks.
Rubio’s latest comments come right before Donald Trump’s proposed address on April 1, 2026. Earlier today, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that the President will give an important war update to the country. Karoline Leavitt wrote on X, “TUNE IN: Tomorrow night at 9 PM ET, President Trump will give an Address to the Nation to provide an important update on Iran.”
Since the war started on February 28, 2026, a total of 348 U.S. service members have been wounded. 13 service members have also been killed in the armed conflict.
