Rubio says US not expected to launch new strikes on Iran US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told several foreign ministers from allied countries in recent days that "for time being" the United States is not expected to launch new strikes against Iran, and will instead focus on other means of pressure, according to Axios, citing a US official and a source with knowledge of the matter. This comes after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a so-called "economic D-Day" of economic sanctions against Iran on Monday.
