U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on March 31 that the United States could see the “finish line” in its military operation with Iran, echoing President Donald Trump’s earlier comments that the conflict was nearing an end.

“We can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it is coming,” Rubio told Fox News’ “Hannity.”
