Marco Rubio on the Houthis:

“First of all, the Houthis don’t have the ability to do this without Iran helping them, okay? They don’t – I mean, they’ve learned how to make them, these drones and these sophisticated anti-ship drones, but this technology is coming from somewhere. Iran is helping them. Iran is helping them make these things, Iran is providing them the money to do these things, Iran is providing them with targeting information that they can use against us.

I mean, without Iran, there is no Houthi threat of this magnitude. I mean, there’s a Houthi threat inside of Yemen, but not a Houthi threat against our Navy and against commercial shipping.

So, Iran owns this problem. I mean, they created this Frankenstein monster, and now they got to own it. And I think we should hold them responsible. And as the President has said, if these guys keep doing this, we owe Iran responsible for having created it.”
