“U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the U.S. is expecting a response on Friday from Iran on the proposal to end the war.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the evidence confirms Marco Rubio is the Secretary of State and that there is a conflict involving Iran, none of the provided search results explicitly state that Rubio said the U.S. is expecting a response on 'Friday' from Iran on a proposal to end the war. One source mentions the U.S. awaiting Tehran's response to peace, but does not specify the Friday deadline or the exact quote.
