NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD ¨C Iran and the United States played down hopes for an imminent breakthrough in the three-month-old war on Monday, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying there will either be a good agreement or Washington would deal with the country in ¡°another way.¡±
Rubio told reporters in New Delhi that the U.S. would give diplomacy every chance to succeed before exploring ¡°alternatives,¡± after U.S. President Donald Trump ?said on Sunday he had told his representatives not to rush into any Iran deal.
There was a ¡°pretty solid thing on the table in terms of their ability to ?open up ?the strait, get the strait open, enter into a very real, significant, time-limited negotiation on the nuclear matter, and hopefully we can pull ?it off,¡± Rubio said.
