US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Rubio Calls Iran ‘Main Troublemaker’ in the Middle East
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sharply criticised Iran, accusing Tehran of fuelling instability across the Middle East by supporting armed groups instead of focusing on the welfare of its own people.
Speaking about the ongoing regional conflict and security challenges, Rubio said Iran continues to finance militant organisations operating across multiple countries, which, according to Washington, has contributed to years of unrest in the region.
Rubio said, “Iran is the main troublemaker.” He further added, “The Houthis, Hezbollah, the militias in Iraq, Hamas – this is what Iran spends its money on.”

US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: Why Is Sirik and Hormozgan Province Important?
Sirik is located in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, an area of major strategic importance because of its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.
The province lies along one of the world’s busiest maritime trade corridors, through which a significant share of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas shipments pass every day.
Any security incident in Hormozgan attracts international attention because instability in the area could affect regional security, shipping routes and global energy markets.
Although officials have not linked the explosions to military operations, the location has increased speculation given the ongoing conflict in the region.
