Rubio: No breakthrough in talks with Iran; demands are outrageous
According to Walla News, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Sunday, ahead of his departure for France for the G7 foreign ministers' meeting, that there has been no diplomatic breakthrough in talks with Iran. He emphasized that while President Trump always prefers diplomacy, Iran's current demands are "unacceptable, ridiculous, and detached from reality." Regarding the possibility of further US military strikes, Rubio stated: "If there is a clear and immediate threat to shipping or our forces in the region, we have the right to defend ourselves." Defending the Trump administration's approach toward Iran, he added that a nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable to the world, noting that sometimes necessary actions are not necessarily popular.
