The Hill – August 09, 2015 – Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) said in an interview broadcast Sunday that, if elected president, he would bring the nuclear weapons agreement with Iran to an end and reestablish current economic sanctions.
“Well, that agreement would come to an end,” Rubio said of the accord on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“The American sanctions are the most important sanctions of all,” the junior senator from Florida continued. “And I would give a choice to the Deutsche Bank or any other institution around the world. You can have access to the American economy or to the Iranian economy. I’m confident they will choose the American economy.”
In addition, Rubio said that, if president, he would hold the Iranian regime accountable through an increased threat of the use of military force.
“If, in fact, the evidence is there that they have moved forward on enrichment capabilities that exceed the amount they need for a program and that we see the weaponization process as moving forward, there will be the use of military force against Iran,” he said. “That’s their choice, not ours.”
