Broadcaster Piers Morgan criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio over his comments about the United States’ preemptive strikes against Iran. Rubio insists that there was an imminent threat to the United States, but Morgan doesn’t agree.
“Does Congress have to weigh in, and was there an imminent threat?” A reporter asked Rubio at a briefing. Congress did not authorize the attacks against Iran. However, the president can bypass Congress and order military action if there is an imminent threat against the United States. “There absolutely was an imminent threat,” Rubio responded.
