Rubio says Iran 'trying to hold world hostage' with strikes

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran of taking the world "hostage" through its retaliatory strikes and insisted that the United States was on track with its war objectives.

"I think we are all seeing right now the threat this clerical regime poses to the region and to the world. They are trying to hold the world hostage," Rubio said at an event at the State Department.
