US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Iran was “begging for a deal” but warned that Tehran would “pay the price” if it failed to reach an agreement, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking on the sidelines of the ASEAN conference in Manila, Rubio said, “It looks like Iran is not ready to make a deal. They will pay the price.”

He also accused Tehran of failing to honour previous agreements, saying, “Every time they make a deal, they either break it or change it.”
