As former President Barack Obama prepared to lavish cash and camaraderie on Iran, one Florida Republican stood up in the U.S. Senate to attack the deal in a speech that reads as though Marco Rubio had a crystal ball.
In recent days, the 2015 floor speech of America’s current secretary of state has been brought back to life onsocial media, noting that what Rubio feared as the Iran nuclear deal was being fast-tracked by Democrats became a reality that led to the current Middle East war.
“Iran will immediately use the money that it’s receiving in sanctions relief to begin to build up its conventional capabilities. It will establish the most dominant military power in the region outside of the United States, and it will raise the price of us operating in the region,” Rubio said in his 2015 speech.
He was labeled a war hungry Neo Con for this speech. He was right and they were wrong.

“They’re going to build anti-access capabilities, rockets capable of destroying our aircraft carriers and ships… and it’ll make it harder and harder for U.S. troops to be in the region,” Rubio continued.
“They’ll also work with other terrorist groups in the region to target American servicemen and women,” he warned.
Rubio also predicted that “at some point in the near future, when the time is right, they will build a nuclear weapon, and they will do so because at that point they will know that they have become immune; that we will no longer be able to strike their nuclear program because the price of doing so will be too high.”
Iran’s goal, Rubio said, was to “reach a point where they become immune to any sort of credible military threat because the price of a military strike would be too high.”
“And then they become an established nuclear weapons power. And never in the history of the world has such a regime ever possessed weapons so capable of destruction,” he continued.
