On Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio filled in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after she left for maternity leave.
Rubio fielded questions for nearly an hour and covered various topics such as the Iran conflict, the Strait of Hormuz and Cuba.
“I don’t think this is being reported enough. Maybe you are reporting. I don’t read everyone. There are so many damn outlets here. I don’t know who you all are,” Rubio said to laughter.
Rubio issued a warning to Iran over its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

“These innocent sailors and commercial crew members have been stranded at sea because Iran is conducting something. It’s not just criminal. It’s criminal for sure, but it’s desperate and destructive,” Rubio said.
“You start running out of food. You start running out of potable water, essential supplies. And they’re at the mercy of this piracy. What it is — it’s piracy,” he said.
Rubio fired another warning shot to Iran.

“The last point I would make, and it really is important for them to understand this, is they really shouldn’t test the will of the United States, at least not under President Donald Trump,” he said.
“He has proven time and again that he will back up what he says, and if they test him, ultimately they will lose — the hard way, the easy way, the long way, the short way,” Rubio said.
“They will lose,” he added.
