US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said “significant progress” has been achieved in negotiations with Iran, although important issues still need to be resolved. Rubio’s remarks came a day after US President Donald Trump said an agreement with Iran had been “largely negotiated,” including plans to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz shipping route. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the “final aspects and details of the deal” were still under discussion and would be announced soon. However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei cautioned that recent convergence between Tehran and Washington does not necessarily mean the two sides have reached agreements on major issues. According to reports, Iran and the United States had initially agreed to a two-week ceasefire, which was later extended to allow more time for peace negotiations. The latest comments reflect cautious optimism surrounding the talks, despite continuing disagreements over key matters between the two countries. Source: BBC
