US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to hold critical talks in Israel on Monday, February 27th, focusing on Iran, Lebanon, and the US-led 20-point Gaza peace plan. The announcement from the State Department comes as the United States increases its military presence, signaling a potential strike against Iran. Rubio's brief visit, concluding Tuesday, aims to address a range of regional priorities.
This diplomatic move follows recent US-Iran talks in Geneva regarding Iran's nuclear program, where progress was reported by mediator Oman, though the US remains guarded and Iran calls for reduced demands.
