US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with Fox News that "the world is safer and more stable than it was 24 hours ago." He emphasized that "this is not a war with Iran," but warned: "If Iran responds, it will be the worst mistake they have ever made." Rubio also noted that the US has no intention of overthrowing the ayatollah regime and reiterated Trump's position that "the US is still willing to talk to Iran."
