Rubio says attacks on Turkiye ‘unacceptable’ after Iran missile launch

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that attacks on NATO ally Turkey’s sovereignty were “unacceptable” after the alliance shot down an Iranian missile, which a Turkish official said had veered off course.

In a call with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Rubio said “that attacks on Turkey’s sovereign territory were unacceptable and pledged full support from the United States,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said.
