U.S. Secretary of State Says Iran's Conditions Are Completely Unacceptable, Major Gap Remains Before a Breakthrough Deal Can Be Reached

BlockBeats News, November 9 — U.S. President Trump has signaled a willingness to avoid another military strike against Iran, but U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been notably more cautious about the prospects of diplomatic negotiations. He stated that some of the demands Iran has put forward so far are completely unacceptable, even "outrageous and absurd," and that a significant gap remains between the two sides before a breakthrough can be achieved.

Speaking to reporters in Florida, Rubio said: "There are currently multiple countries still engaging with Iran and proposing different solutions, but I would not say we are close to achieving a breakthrough."

CNN reported earlier on Sunday that Trump, in a phone interview with the outlet, said that as long as negotiations are making progress, it is highly unlikely he would order the U.S. military to launch another strike against Iran.
