Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US policy is 'head for an eye' (a garbled phrase) and that Iran will pay a heavy price, according to N12's Asaf Rosenzweig.
The Zioneer previously reported on Secretary Rubio's earlier statements that Iran is 'begging' for a deal yet not ready to agree, and that the US would continue its 11th consecutive night of strikes. Today's remark, reported by N12's Asaf Rosenzweig, contains a garbled phrase — 'ראש תחת עין' (head for an eye) — which appears to be a misstatement of the idiom 'eye for an eye.' The statement that Iran will pay a heavy price is consistent with the administration's recent posture. The exact wording was not further clarified by the source.
