United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has canceled his planned visit to Israel following the death of Iran's Supreme Leader. The cancellation comes after coordinated airstrikes ordered by the United States and Israel reportedly killed the Iranian leader on Saturday morning, according to President Donald Trump.

The strikes have led to retaliatory missile attacks across several countries in the Arab world, raising concerns about growing instability in the region. Rubio had been scheduled to arrive in Israel on March 2.

A spokesperson for the State Department announced that, due to the current circumstances, the trip would no longer take place. The situation continues to develop as tensions escalate.
