Rubio Claims Trump's Iran War 'Over'

Wednesday, June 03, 2026

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Iran war is "over" during congressional testimony on Tuesday, in spite of an admission that negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and curb Tehran's uranium enrichment are not guaranteed to produce a deal.

Ossoff: "Last week, yet more Americans were wounded in a war nobody voted for & nobody can explain. This war in Iran is worst foreign policy blunder since Iraq, & just like the Iraq war, it's a war built on lies. Let's update the record. On day one Trump said it was running 'ahead of schedule' ...

Donald Trump's war with Iran has cost American households $100 billion -- so far. That's nearly $750 per household.

If it's "over," perhaps Lil' Marco will volunteer to plant his butt in the proverbial crow's nest and guide the first oil-laden ship through the Strait of Hormuz. Thanks, pinche Marco, don't trip over those Florsheims on your way out the door.

Let's face it: People like Trump and Rubio must have mystical powers; to will the existence of wars and then will them out again.

I, speaking for myself, am impressed.

I'm not sure what's over.

Did Trump ever acknowledge he started a war with Iran?

Wasn't the whole thing classified as tourism?

This Islamophobic misadventure to help Israel will cost Americans $101bn by the end of the day.

US Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) wants a non-Likud PM to lead Israel, someone who doesn't make the Pariah nation look so bad-- like the odious Benjamin Netanyahu-- while the IDF ethnically cleanses Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.

Just ask US Senator Jon Ossoff or his colleague US Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) one simple question and you'll know right away:

"Senator. Is Israel conducting genocide in Gaza and ethnically cleansing the West Bank? Yes or no please, Senator."

Will you stop with this AIPAC s*&^? It's really f*&^ing annoying considering it has nothing to do with the actual article.

Just STFU about your one trick pony garbage already.
