Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said he was unlikely to support Chuck Hagel’s confirmation for secretary of defense during a Fox News interview Thursday, citing Hagel’s positions on Iran, Israel and North Korea.

“For those reasons I just don’t believe I will be able to support his nomination especially after his testimony in the last hour here really not said anything that addresses those concerns to my satisfaction,” Rubio said.
