US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he told G7 allies that economic sanctions and the naval blockade are working “so well” that President Donald Trump does not have any need to conduct major combat operations in Iran, Reuters reports.
Speaking to reporters in Paris, Rubio says the economic pain Washington has inflicted gets worse over time, but that the US is still open to a “real deal”, though he notes the conditions Tehran keeps imposing are “absurd”.
