Rubio addresses Iran, Ukraine, Greenland, and Gaza in series of statements

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made several statements on different foreign policy topics. He said the US is no longer conducting strikes against Iran, called the war in Ukraine a 'strategic disaster' for Russia, and noted that Greenland is part of Denmark 'for now.' He also distanced himself from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's plan for Gaza.

During a Senate hearing, Rubio was heckled by a protester who shouted 'Stop supporting Israel.' He also clashed with a Democratic lawmaker who asked about his shoes, calling the exchange 'a circus.' Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova commented on US-Russia talks and dismissed rumors of disagreements between Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Rubio.
