Iranian regime has 'never faced a president' like Trump, Rubio says

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in an interview airing this weekend on 'My View with Lara Trump,' said the Iranian regime has 'never faced a president like President Trump.' Tensions remain high in the Middle East on Saturday as Kuwait intercepted Iranian drone attacks.

Kuwait's army announced Saturday it has destroyed multiple "hostile drones" from Iran that targeted "vital facilities" inside the country.

'The Official Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Major General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, stated that the armed forces have detected, since dawn today, hostile drones within Kuwaiti airspace, and they have been dealt with and destroyed,' Kuwait's army posted on X.

'He added that the heinous Iranian aggression targeted a number of vital facilities, including a government facility in the north of the country, as well as civilian vehicles belonging to one of the civil companies on Bubiyan Island, resulting in material damage due to falling shrapnel, with no human injuries recorded, praise be to God,' a statement added.

Iran is threatening to retaliate against U.S. or Israeli strikes by targeting critical energy infrastructure, according to comments published Friday by Iran's state-affiliated Tasnim News Agency.

A senior security official told Tasnim that reports in U.S. media about possible American and Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure amounted to 'a kind of madness,' warning Tehran has prepared 'extensive response plans.'

According to Tasnim, the official said those plans include strikes targeting Israeli critical infrastructure and U.S. energy infrastructure across the region, adding Iran's armed forces have both 'the capability and the will' to carry them out.

The threat comes hours after the White House told Fox News Digital that President Donald Trump 'is not going to stand by and allow this terrorist behavior to occur' and that 'Iran will continue to pay until they come to the table in, what President Trump deems, a meaningful way.'

The White House statement came in response to reports of a possible expansion of U.S. military operations against Iran.
