Secretary of State Marco Rubio testifies before Congress on the Iran war and ongoing negotiations with Tehran.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee in his first public congressional testimony since the U.S.-Iran conflict began in late February. Rubio stated the war is "over," outlined U.S. demands including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and dismantling Iran's nuclear program, and confirmed no sanctions relief had been offered. The hearings featured contentious exchanges with Democratic lawmakers over the administration's war powers and diplomatic strategy.
