[U.S. Secretary of State: “There is no need” to carry out large-scale combat operations against Iran] On November 10, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio stated in Paris, France, that the effectiveness of U.S. economic sanctions and maritime blockade measures was “very significant” and therefore there was no need to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran. Rubio said in an interview after attending the G7 foreign ministers' meeting that day that the effect of Washington's economic sanctions on Iran will become increasingly significant. The United States remains open to a "real deal," but Tehran's conditions are "ridiculous." He also said that US President Trump has made it clear that Iran's request for war compensation is impossible. (CCTV News)
