Rubio faces fierce Senate fire over Iran War, Taiwan Arms deal and Cuba policy
Rubio’s testimony, which coincided with a fresh round of Israel-Lebanon political talks at the State Department, offered few definitive answers on several key issues.
The Middle East conflict, which began on February 28, has moved into a new and more confusing phase, with military action now running alongside a fierce battle over what is real and what is not. On the latest day of escalation, US President Donald Trump accused Iran of using artificial intelligence to spread fake visuals of battlefield damage, even as fresh claims and counterclaims emerged from across the region.
Israel said it had hit more than 200 targets inside Iran over the past day, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed coordinated missile and drone strikes on four US airbases. At the same time, India said its ships and seafarers in the region remained safe, Air India outlined West Asia operations, and French President Emmanuel Macron called for an immediate end to attacks and the restoration of freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
