Marco Rubio: Iran Designated as State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention

Marco Rubio condemned Iran for its longstanding practice of detaining innocent Americans and using them as political pawns, urging the regime to halt these actions and release unjustly held individuals. He highlighted recent U.S. measures, including an executive order and the Countering Wrongful Detention Act of 2025, aimed at designating Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention. Rubio warned of potential travel restrictions for U.S. passports to and from Iran if the regime does not comply, while also advising Americans to avoid travel to Iran.
