US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that Iran is confronting a different kind of US president in the form of Donald Trump, according to Anadolu.

“I don’t think the Iranian regime has ever faced a president like President Trump, which is someone that actually takes action,” Rubio has said in an interview with Fox News.

“They got used to, for 20 or 30 years, not just the US, but the broader world, allowing them to get away with things like lying, breaking deals, tricking people into agreements,” he adds.
