US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington can see the “finish line” in the Iran war, which is now in its fifth week, Reuters reports.

“We can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow, but it is coming,” Rubio told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” show.

He said there were messages being exchanged between Iran and the US and there is the potential to have a “direct meeting at some point” between the two sides.

“There are messages being exchanged, there are talks going on. There is the potential for direct meeting at some point,” Rubio said.
