SECRETARY RUBIO: The President is focused on ending the cycle of exploitation. We have to make sure that Americans are no longer viewed as targets of opportunity around the world, and terroristic regimes like the one in Iran know that there are consequences for doing that. That's why we established the State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention designation.

Ahead of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s appearance at Wednesday’s Senate Appropriations Committee meeting, committee member Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) says the top priority of his questioning will be “ending the war in Iran,” which he called “an absolute disaster for the United States.” “It's just been a humiliation for the United States, and it's made Iran more powerful,” he says. “Of course, there's an impact in Russia, as well. We've had to suspend sanctions on Russian oil in order to get their oil on the market, so the consequence of the Iran war is not just that Americans are dying, the prices are going up, but Russia is also getting more powerful.”

Two Americans held captive in Iran, Reza Valizadeh and Kamran Hekmati, have been designated by the U.S. government as wrongfully detained, which the sister of an ex-Iran prisoner Neda Sharghi said “is very important.” “Because you publicly now recognize these individuals as being used for their blue [U.S.] passport, and the United States government now has the sort of carte blanche to use all its resources to get them out,” she said. “These two individuals, Reza’s and Kamran’s families, do want their cases to be public.”
