US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revealed new details about the peace deal with Iran, adding that America has made ‘significant progress’ in negotiations.
Rubio made the comment while on a visit to India on Sunday, stating that the US is close to reaching a deal with Iran that could see the Strait of Hormuz reopen, and the Middle Eastern country give up its stash of highly enriched uranium, regional officers told the Associated Press.
‘On the Iran situation, there will be, I believe, maybe more news coming out later today on this topic, and I’ll leave it to the president to make further announcements on it,’ Rubio said before giving a little glimpse into what the next move is.
‘It’s suffice to say that some progress has been made, significant progress, although not final progress has been made.’
The US has been after Iran’s uranium stockpile in a bid to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons and being a massive threat to the US and its allies.
The US-Iran war broke out on February 28 following a decades-long conflict between the nations.
Following the start of the war, the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow and vital waterway that is used as a high-volume shipping route, closed.
It opened temporarily, but has since shut down again after the US maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports.
