Interesting how same people who say Trump is reckless & dangerous for not listening to career intelligence & defense experts with respect to Russia, Ukraine etc. now accuse him of being reckless & dangerous for listening to the career intelligence & defense experts on #Soleimani — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

This morning I discussed with #Iraq’s Ambassador to the U.S. the need for a high level dialogue about our bilateral economic, diplomatic & security partnership in light of recent events. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

It’s just a matter of time before you start hearing some say that it’s Trump’s fault that #Iran made a mistake and shot down a commercial airliner. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

On this #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay we are very grateful to the extraordinary men & women who keep us safe. And thank you to your families for supporting the important work you do for us. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

#Iran knows that they shot down a commercial airliner after mistaking it for an incoming attack. And they know they can’t hide that for much longer. Lets hope they don’t continue to delay admitting this terrible mistake. Because it’s making the suffering of the families worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Moments ago I spoke on the Senate floor about ⁦@POTUS⁩ to order a strike on #Soleimani You can watch on YouTube link here: https://t.co/MSAhr0pjQa — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Another sign that @potus decision to strike #Soleimani achieved a restoration of active deterrence #IRGC commander says #IRGC missile strike “did not intend to kill” Nevertheless threat of proxy attacks remains & #Iran will be held responsible for them https://t.co/XEg3Xnwceq — PolitiTweet.org

Continue working with local & federal officials to make sure all needed emergency federal resources are being made available in response to #PuertoRicoEarthquake Photo from Ricardo Arduengo/AFP https://t.co/JAYUdZTC2f — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Some reporting about GOP Senator upset after Iran briefing leaves false impression it’s because information provided didn’t justify #Soleimani strike It was because administration didn’t offer hypothetical scenario requiring congressional authorization for military action — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Any Senator who left the briefing on #Iran & claims #Soleimani wasn’t planning a near term attack on Americans is calling the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Milley a liar. Because Gen. Milley stated clearly & firmlythat Soleimani was about to kill Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

I will rejoice in Jerusalem and exult in my people. No longer shall the sound of weeping be heard there,or the sound of crying; No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,nor anyone who does not live a full lifetime Isaiah 65:19-20 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

We will advance this strategy via economic sanctions,not military action And we are ready to engage in serious diplomacy But we will take decisive military action to disrupt,deter or repel attacks against Americans And we will never allow #Iran to acquire nuclear weapons 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

The goal of U.S. policy is an #Iran that is prosperous & lives in harmony with its neighbors & the world. But this will require its clerical leaders to: -abandon their nuclear weapons ambition; and -end their support of violence & terrorism 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Just spoke to @potus on: -how #Soleimani strike disrupted deadly near term attacks on Americans & reestablished deterrence -our desire to avoid further military escalation -U.S. plans for a strong but appropriate response to any new attacks from #Iran or it’s proxies 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Earlier today I gave comments to the press after the entire Senate was briefed by the Trump Administrations national security team. You can watch my comments here via @YouTube: https://t.co/cB83VxFv6p — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Today our annual report from the bi-partisan/bi-cameral Congressional-Executive Commission on China which I co-chair argued for tougher & cohesive action against #China’s government crackdown against religious minorities & other abuses. https://t.co/qEyOsRpVL7 — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Former Obama officials & their media protectors can howl all they want. It’s a FACT that as part of #IranDeal they delivered $1.7 billion in cash to #Iran And they did this even though Iran owes $55 billion in court ordered payments to American victims of Iranian terrorism — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Natl Security officials gave a compelling briefing to Senators just now. They answered every important question. Anyone who walks out & says they aren’t convinced action against #Soleimani was justified is either never going to be convinced or just oppose everything Trump does. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Very strong indications that last nights attack by #Iran was a face saving effort to show resolve while avoiding escalation. But Iran must be held responsible for any attacks conducted by the proxy forces the #IRGC supports in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq & elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Just spoke to @masrour_barzani. I expressed my continued support of our partnership with #Kurdistan’s Regional Government especially in light of last nights attack & the recent upheaval in #Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

.@potus just made the same point that #IranDeal helped them develop the kind of missiles used last night & called on #JCPOA nations to pursue a new & real deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

That said,the proxies #Iran has created & armed may decide to take independent action. #Iran must be held responsible for any attacks from these monsters they created. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Attack by #Iran serious but nowhere near as dangerous as attacks #Soleimani was planning. They decided to hit 2 bases they knew were fortified, resulting in no US or coalition loss of life. If this is full response it shows @potus actions succeeded in restoring deterrence. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

#Iran’s use of ballistic missiles shows why the #JCPOA was deficient. It didn’t prohibit developing them & helped fund them. Now is the time for the signatories of the #IranDeal to insist on a revised deal that includes a prohibition of these missiles & the proxy terror groups — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

Our unique capabilities provide @potus time to assess the #IranAttacks & determine a response Worth noting that we already have several indications that this attack may have been aimed at portraying strength inside #Iran while avoiding escalation against a superior military — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

This is important and welcome news. It will free up additional federal resources & assistance for #PuertoRico. We remain in contact with local and federal authorities to make sure everything that is needed is made available. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

.@POTUS has handled #Iran’s latest aggression very well. The U.S. was well prepared for this sort of attack & has no need to rush to decide the appropriate response. We have a broad range of options available & will be patient & deliberative in choosing the appropriate one. — PolitiTweet.org

Marco Rubio @marcorubio

US was prepared for the attack launched tonight by the #IRGC @potus has a broad range of options available to respond We will soon have a fuller assessment of this attack Thereafter I am very confident he will pursue an appropriate response & act at a time of our choosing — PolitiTweet.org
