参议员鲁比奥宣布参选总统

United States Senator Marco Rubio of Florida told his supporters Monday he is running for president in 2016. He said that he feels "uniquely qualified" to represent the Republican Party.

Mr. Rubio, 43, is the son of Cuban immigrants. He made an official public announcement Monday in Miami. The announcement took place at the site where officials first registered Cubans fleeing the government of Fidel Castro in the 1960s.

Mr. Rubio is a first-term senator. If elected, he would become the United States' first Hispanic leader.

He joins Republican Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz in seeking the party's presidential nomination. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush are also expected to seek the Republican nomination.

Iranian Culture Minister Ali Jannati told Iranian TV that Saudi Arabia must punish border guards who reportedly mistreated the pilgrims last month.

The United States expressed concern Monday of Russia's possible sale of the missiles to Iran.
