Senator Rubio Declares 'Havana Syndrome' an Act of War in Defiance of Intelligence Finding



Senator Marco Rubio has rejected the recent intelligence finding that the "Havana Syndrome," a mysterious illness that has affected U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers around the world, is not linked to a foreign adversary. Rubio, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, argues that the syndrome is "an act of war" and that the U.S. needs to take it seriously.


The intelligence community has been investigating the Havana Syndrome for several years but has been unable to determine its cause. Some officials initially suspected that a sonic weapon was responsible, while others have suggested that it could be a result of a covert attack by a foreign adversary.


Rubio's rejection of the recent intelligence finding reflects growing frustration among lawmakers and officials about the U.S. government's response to the Havana Syndrome. Many believe that the U.S. needs to do more to protect its personnel and investigate the cause of the illness.


Some have called for a dedicated task force to investigate the Havana Syndrome, while others have suggested that the U.S. should treat it as a potential act of war and respond accordingly. The U.S. government has already taken some measures to address the issue, such as providing medical treatment to affected personnel and increasing security measures at diplomatic posts.
