Marco Rubio

According to a Wall Street Journal report, President Donald Trump told his advisers that if American troops are harmed by fire from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, it could bring the ceasefire with Iran to an end.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the negotiations with Iran. On Iran’s nuclear program, he added: "Iran must also commit to specific negotiations on transferring the enriched uranium."

Amid rising tensions in the talks between Washington and Tehran, Rubio is taking a tough line on Iran and making clear that Israel will retain freedom of action against Hezbollah. In Tehran, officials say the U.S. has backed away from prior understandings.

Contacts between the United States and Iran are moving toward a draft agreement, but major disputes remain unresolved. In Tehran, officials insist the nuclear issue is not part of the initial understandings. A senior Israeli official said, “Trump made clear that he will stand firm in the negotiations on his consistent demand to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.”

Today in Washington, the Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Lebanon demands that the IDF stop demolishing buildings in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese official: "This is a condition for continuing the talks"
