As US Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues his visit to India, the top diplomat visited the Taj Mahal in Agra.
However, Rubio's visit did not go unnoticed, especially with Iran jumping in to taunt the US official.
Rubio, who is on a three-day visit to India, referred to the Taj Mahal as “One of the wonders of the world”.

"This monument was built out for the love of emperor's Iranian wife, crafted by the genius of Iranian architects — meanwhile his government today threatens to wipe out Iranian civilization, insulting other civilizations," the consulate wrote further.
