A comprehensive fact-check review confirms that a tweet falsely attributed to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio — claiming President Trump informed Congress of intent to rescind Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism — is completely fabricated. The post, shared by @AdityaRajKaul on X, originates from known India-linked propaganda accounts that routinely spread disinformation to influence global narratives. No official statement from the U.S. State Department or any credible source matches this quote. In reality, Syria remains designated as a state sponsor of terrorism due to its ongoing support for terrorist groups and human rights abuses. This fake propaganda attempts to create a false impression of U.S. policy shifts and undermine diplomatic credibility. My opinion: Such disinformation is dangerous as it misleads the public, distorts international relations, and exploits social media algorithms for political gain. Users must always verify official sources before sharing such claims.

Claim: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio:
“Today @POTUS informed Congress of his intent to rescind Syria’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. This historic step opens new possibilities for economic opportunity and recovery, giving the Syrian people a chance at greatness.”
