Secretary of State Marco Rubio disputed Senator Jacky Rosen's characterization of his absence from the U.S. negotiating team during discussions with Iranian officials in Pakistan in April. This exchange occurred during Rubio's testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Rosen criticized Rubio for attending a party with President Trump in Miami instead of joining Vice President JD Vance in Pakistan for the negotiations. Rubio countered her statement, asserting he was not at a party and was in communication with the president during that time. The negotiations, which took place on April 11-12, involved Iranian officials led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Rubio emphasized that he was updating the president on the negotiations while they were ongoing. The U.S. and Iran are still in negotiations regarding various issues, including Iran's nuclear program.
