Rubio: No deadline for Iran talks, military strikes remain an option
According to Arutz Sheva, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday, following a G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, that the Trump administration prefers diplomacy but remains deeply concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions and threats to international shipping. Rubio condemned Iran's attacks on commercial vessels and emphasized that any agreement with Tehran must address Washington's core security concerns. He stated that the duration of talks is up to the President and while Trump has not authorized renewed strikes, the US possesses the capabilities to achieve its military objectives. These remarks come amid reports of progress in indirect talks in Qatar, and following President Trump's recent comments that Iran is seeking negotiations due to its financial difficulties.
