Rubio: Peace deal with Tehran is extremely difficult
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that reaching a peace deal with Iran is extremely difficult. He pointed to attacks in the Strait of Hormuz that are still going on.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told US media that reaching a peace deal with the Iranian leadership in Tehran is currently extremely difficult. The remarks came on 21 October, as the war involving Iran continues.
Rubio named the ongoing attacks in the Strait of Hormuz as the main obstacle. The strait is a waterway off Iran's coast that links the Persian Gulf with the open ocean. According to him, while the attacks continue, the prospects for an agreement are slim.
The source gives no further details on which attacks have taken place, who is responsible for them, or what talks are currently under way. These questions remain open, and the situation is still developing.
