The United States plans to further intensify its economic pressure campaign against Iran, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists, APA reports.
According to Rubio, he has been informed that the economic pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic has been so successful that a large-scale military operation is no longer necessary.
Rubio noted that economic pressure on Iran will be further increased in the future.
The Secretary of State emphasized that the US military is ready to respond if Iran crosses certain "red lines" or takes unacceptable actions.
Rubio said he had no doubt that the Islamic Republic was interested in reaching an agreement, but Tehran did not yet appear ready to do so.
He added that if Iran wants to have a nuclear energy program, it must be carried out in the same way as in other countries.
The Secretary of State warned that if Iran decides to escalate tensions and take military action, it will pay a "very heavy price" in return.
