US says 12th consecutive night of strikes will 'further degrade' Iran's military capabilities

Section: Rubio urges Houthis to stay out of conflict, says Iran 'begging' US for another deal
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, while on his trip to the Philippines, answered questions from reporters about the Iran war.
In response to a question about the Houthis attacking two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, Rubio urged the Iran-backed terrorist group to disentangle itself from the ongoing conflict.
"I hope that they'll stop. They shouldn't really do that. They got suckered into this by the Iranians," Rubio said. "The Houthis largely were smart and stayed out of all this throughout the conflict."
"They should stay out of it," he added. "We'll see what happens there. Obviously, it's not a positive development."
Rubio also said Iran is begging the U.S. "both directly and indirectly" to strike another deal to end the fighting.
"The problem with Iran is every time they make a deal, the people that are in charge there, they either break it or they want to change it. So, it looks like they're not ready to make a deal, so they're going to continue to pay a price," Rubio said.
