‘US learned that allies aren’t always there…’: Rubio’s subtle dig at UK as US set to hit Iran hard?

Tensions soar in the Middle East as the United States ramps up military pressure on Iran, with officials warning that the “hardest hits” may still be ahead. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended Washington’s strikes, saying the U.S. acted pre-emptively to protect American forces after learning Israel was preparing its own attack.
Rubio’s remark that the U.S. has learned “allies aren’t always there when needed” has sparked speculation that it was a subtle dig at the UK’s cautious stance on joining offensive strikes. The controversy comes as the UK government under Keir Starmer faced criticism for hesitating before allowing U.S. operations from British bases amid the widening Iran conflict.
