In March 2026, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran. Rubio stated that the strikes were necessary because Iran was not negotiating in good faith with the US. He claimed that President Trump authorized the strikes due to Iran "playing" the US during negotiations.
