The claim
“Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Trump stopped Iran from building a massive conventional weapons shield that could have cleared the way for a nuclear breakout, warning the alternative was a “North Korea in the Middle East”

What we found
Marco Rubio's own words on the record:
“These people can never have nuclear weapons. Think about it, the thousands and thousands and thousands of their own people they've killed. Imagine if they had a nuclear weapon and the ability to use that against their neighbors, against us, against the world.”
What's still unknown
Whether Marco Rubio's words amount to what the post says is a characterization; the record above doesn't settle it on its own. The claim is rechecked as more of the record appears.
