US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a potential deal to end the war with Iran may be reached “today”.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announces potential progress towards a deal with Iran, as President Trump urges caution amid ongoing negotiations and a fragile ceasefire.
The United States and Iran have observed a ceasefire since April 8 while mediators push for a negotiated settlement, although Iran has imposed controls on Gulf shipping and the US has blockaded Iran's ports.
"We thought we might have some news last night, maybe today, I wouldn't read too much into it," Rubio said in New Delhi, referring to the potential agreement.
"We have what I think is a pretty solid thing on the table in terms of their ability to open up the straits, get the straits open," he told reporters in the Indian capital, where he has been on an official visit.
