There is a chance that Iran will accept an agreement to end the war in the Middle East as early as this Saturday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. According to him, progress has been made in the negotiations, but he cannot rule out that US President Donald Trump will resume attacks on Iran. This was reported by the AFP agency, writes TASR.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announces a possible deal with Iran today.
- However, Rubio also admits the resumption of US military attacks against Iran.
- Donald Trump canceled his son’s wedding due to government circumstances.
- Washington is demanding the full opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the handover of enriched uranium.
Trump will miss his son’s wedding
Rubio’s comments came after a Pakistani army chief who is among the mediators arrived in Tehran and US President Donald Trump announced he would not attend his son’s wedding due to “circumstances relating to the government”. It fueled speculation that the talks had entered a sensitive phase, AFP noted.
“Maybe there will be some news today. Maybe not. I hope so,” Rubio told reporters during a visit to India. “Some progress has been made. It’s still being worked on right now,” he said.
Rubio: We are working on diplomatic solutions
“There’s a chance that, whether it’s today, tomorrow or in a few days, we’ll have something to say,” declared the head of US diplomacy. He reiterated Washington’s demands to fully open the Iranian-blocked Strait of Hormuz and hand over its highly enriched uranium.
Rubio added that Trump “always prefers to resolve such issues through diplomatic negotiations.” “We are working on that right now. But this problem will be solved, as the president has made clear, one way or another,” he declared.
