Marco Rubio Leaves Situation Room - Stuns World with 3 Word Announcement
Rubio Says US Striking Iran To Eliminate Nuclear Threat Permanently
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that the recent U.S. strike on Iran was designed to permanently eliminate what he described as the country’s nuclear threat. He said the mission had been clear “from day one.”
“This was the final, best chance to wipe out Iran’s threat for good — so they can never have a nuclear weapon,” Rubio said in a video shared on X. He added that Iran could pursue civilian nuclear energy but accused Tehran of building hidden facilities capable of enriching material to weapons-grade levels, Fox News reported.
“They build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare,” Rubio said. “The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons-grade.”
Rubio warned that Iran had been close to developing a large stockpile of missiles and drones that could shield its nuclear program. He called that scenario an “intolerable risk” and said the U.S. operation also aims to degrade those capabilities.
Speaking on “Hannity,” Rubio said the U.S. remains open to direct talks with Tehran while maintaining a hard stance on negotiations. He warned that the administration would not allow talks to be used as a delay tactic.
“There is the potential for a direct meeting at some point,” Rubio said. “But what President Trump is not going to allow is fake negotiations to be used as a delay tactic.”
Rubio said the U.S. is “very, very close” to achieving its objectives in dealing with Iran. He also claimed recent U.S. actions had weakened Tehran significantly.
“This is the weakest Iran has been in 25 years,” Rubio said. “This is the weakest Iran has ever been.”
Rubio told host Sean Hannity that Iran had been working toward missile capabilities that could eventually reach the continental United States. He compared Tehran’s ambitions to those of North Korea.
“That’s what they were aiming to do,” Rubio said. “They were aiming to become the next North Korea.”
In an interview with Al Jazeera Media Network, Rubio criticized European allies for their response to the conflict and suggested the U.S. may need to reassess its relationship with NATO. He pointed to restrictions placed on U.S. military operations by allied nations, Breitbart News reported.
Rubio said some NATO members, including Spain, denied U.S. access to airspace and bases during the operation. He questioned whether the alliance remains beneficial if allies do not support the U.S. in times of need.
“If that’s the arrangement, that’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States,” Rubio said. “All of it’s going to have to be re-examined.”
The administration also expressed frustration with the United Kingdom’s initial refusal to allow strikes from the joint U.S.-UK base on Diego Garcia. British officials later allowed use of airbases, which became a key staging point for operations.
President Donald Trump also criticized European allies over their response to the conflict and efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz. He urged countries reliant on the waterway to take responsibility for protecting their own energy supply.
“You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore.”
Trump also criticized France for refusing to assist U.S. operations related to Iran. He said the United States would remember the lack of support from allies moving forward.
The Republican-Controlled U.S. House of Representative Passes Major Bill 216 - 211 - Now Federal Employees File Complaint...
Washington, D.C. — June 3, 2026
The Trump administration is facing a new legal challenge from federal employees over a policy, effective Thursday, that eliminates coverage for gender-related healthcare services in federal employee health insurance plans.
The Human Rights Campaign filed a formal complaint Thursday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of current federal workers. The complaint challenges an August directive from the Office of Personnel Management that ends coverage for “chemical and surgical modification of an individual’s sex traits through medical interventions” under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and plans covering U.S. Postal Service employees.
The complaint argues that the denial of coverage for gender-transition care amounts to sex-based discrimination and calls on the personnel office to withdraw the policy.
“This policy is not about cost or care—it is about driving transgender people and people with transgender spouses, children, and dependents out of the federal workforce,” said Kelley Robinson, President of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, in a statement released with the filing.
The complaint includes statements from four federal employees working at the State Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Postal Service. These workers say the loss of coverage will directly affect their families. One Postal Service employee described how doctors have recommended puberty blockers and possibly hormone replacement therapy for her daughter, who has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Those treatments would no longer be covered under the new OPM policy.
The employees are bringing the claim on their own behalf and on behalf of a “class of similarly situated federal employees.”
The filing comes as the Trump administration has moved aggressively to restrict access to gender-affirming care, particularly for minors. In December, the Department of Health and Human Services proposed rules that would bar hospitals from providing gender-transition services to minors if they receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has publicly described such care for minors as “malpractice.”
These restrictions run counter to positions held by major medical organizations, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which support gender-affirming care as medically appropriate when clinically indicated.
Last week, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed legislation that would criminalize gender-transition treatments for minors, including surgeries and hormone therapies, and impose prison sentences of up to ten years on providers who violate the ban. The bill passed on a 216-211 vote, almost entirely along party lines.
Civil rights groups described the measure as one of the most far-reaching anti-transgender bills ever considered by Congress. It is considered unlikely to advance in the Senate, where it would need bipartisan support to overcome procedural hurdles.
The legislation was advanced after Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) conditioned her support for a defense policy bill on Speaker Mike Johnson bringing her measure to the floor. Greene said the bill fulfills a key campaign promise made by President Trump and codifies his executive order restricting gender-affirming medical procedures.
“Most Americans agree that kids just need to grow up before they do anything radical, like a mastectomy on a 15-year-old girl,” Greene said during floor debate, displaying an image of a minor who had undergone such a procedure.
The complaint filed Thursday marks the latest flashpoint in the widening conflict between the Trump administration’s healthcare policies and federal workers who say those policies will harm them and their families.

The billionaire’s engagement party turned into a nightmare when a little boy suddenly pointed at the mansion maid and screamed, “That’s my mommy!”
The music stopped.
Champagne glasses froze in midair.
And in the center of the dazzling ballroom, billionaire Ethan Whitmore felt his blood run cold.
Because the woman his son was running toward had been dead for two years.
Or so everyone thought.
For months, the quiet maid had cleaned his mansion without drawing attention.
No one looked at her twice.
No one suspected a thing.
Until Ethan’s four-year-old son broke free from the crowd, rushed across the ballroom, and threw himself into her arms, crying, “Mommy, don’t leave me again!”
A stunned silence swallowed the room.
Then the maid slowly removed her glasses…
And Ethan dropped his champagne flute onto the marble floor.
Because staring back at him was the exact face of the wife he had buried after a mysterious car crash.
But the most terrifying moment came next.
The woman turned toward Ethan’s beautiful fiancée…
Locked eyes with her…
And whispered a single sentence about the night she supposedly died.
Within seconds, the fiancée’s smile vanished.
Her face turned ghost white.
And everyone in the ballroom realized that the real story of the crash had never been buried at all…
