Rubio: Trump's Iran Policy Is "Head for an Eye," Not Eye for an Eye

🎙️ RUBIO — Iran says eye for an eye; Washington says head for an eye. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Rubio's framing isn't rhetorical — it's stated doctrine, delivered days before Trump's Thursday address.

Gulf states and European allies absorb this as confirmation that no off-ramp language is coming from Foggy Bottom.
