'World Could Get Big Good News Soon': Marco Rubio Hints at Major Breakthrough in Iran War Talks

New Delhi: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is visiting India amid the Iran-US tensions, has given a big hint, saying that 'the world may get good news in the next few hours.' It is believed that this potential deal could be related to a 60-day ceasefire extension and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

What did Marco Rubio say about Iran war?

Speaking to the reporters, Rubio said discussions around a possible peace arrangement were continuing.

"I do think perhaps there is the possibility that in the next few hours the world will get some good news," he said.

While Marco did not share full details of the potential agreement, his statement indicated that a major diplomatic solution could be reached between the US and Iran.

Did Trump hint at a 60-day ceasefire?

Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump claimed that Washington was close to extending the 60-day ceasefire. Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth Social that a broad agreement had been reached between the US, Iran, and several other countries, which remains to be finalized.

What did Marco Rubio say about Strait of Hormuz?

Rubio said the proposed agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran largely closed after the conflict began. This deal could also allow Iran to sell its oil. Iran is demanding that the US lift the naval blockade, release foreign assets, and lift sanctions on oil exports.

"Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon. The Strait of Hormuz is an international waterway, and what they are doing now is basically they are threatening to destroy commercial vessels using an international waterway that is illegal under any concept of international law," he said.

Marco Rubio stated unequivocally that the US will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons under any circumstances. He said the issue is a matter of US national security and will not be compromised.

What did Jaishankar say?

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar also clarified India's stance on this issue. He stated that the Trump administration operates under an "America First" policy, while India prioritizes an "India First" policy. Jaishankar stated that India has access to many affordable and diverse energy sources, and the country will continue to purchase energy from multiple sources to meet its needs.
