US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on a four-day official visit to New Delhi, India, announced that the United States is making significant strides towards a peace agreement with Iran. During a red-carpet event at the US Embassy, he emphasized the need for Iran to relinquish its nuclear ambitions, stating, "Iran can never have nuclear weapons." Rubio reiterated the US administration's commitment to resolving the geopolitical standoff through diplomatic means, reflecting President Trump's preference for negotiation over military action. However, contrasting statements from Iranian officials indicate ongoing tensions. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, issued a stern warning against potential US military strikes, claiming that Iran has bolstered its military capabilities during a recent ceasefire. The negotiations come in the wake of a military conflict that erupted earlier this year, following US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Diplomatic efforts have intensified, with Iranian officials engaging in talks with regional partners, including Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, and Qatar, to prevent further escalation. Despite these efforts, an official agreement to conclude hostilities remains elusive, with Iran accusing the US of imposing excessive demands.
