US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirms the completion of 'Operation Epic Fury', a major military operation against Iran, but emphasizes that peace is still not guaranteed due to ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio urges Iran to agree to President Trump's demands regarding their nuclear program.
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced on Tuesday that the primary military operation against Iran has been concluded. However, he noted that peace is not assured and tensions could reignite over the Strait of Hormuz.

Rubio stated that although military actions have been defensive, the situation remains volatile as Iran's activities continue to pose significant global challenges.
