Rubio's Embarrassing Admission - May 6, 2026

from The Young Turks · host TYT Network

Marco Rubio now says the goal in Iran is simply restoring the country “back to the way it was” before Donald Trump escalated the conflict, a striking admission as the administration scrambles to redefine the war’s objectives. Adding to the chaos, Trump’s new Iran negotiator is reportedly an Israel lobbyist who previously denounced negotiations with Iran altogether, while Israeli soldiers continue posting footage critics say amounts to self-incrimination online.
