US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said an announcement was possible later today on a deal with Iran, AFP reports.
“I do think perhaps there is the possibility that in the next few hours the world will get some good news,” Rubio told reporters in New Delhi.
Rubio said the emerging deal would address US concerns on the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has largely blocked in response to the US-Israeli attack.
The agreement would also start a “process that can ultimately leave us where the president wants us to be, and that is a world that no longer has to fear or worry about an Iranian nuclear weapon”, he added.
“Some progress has been made in the past 48 hours on an outline that could resolve the Strait of Hormuz situation,” he said, adding that more work is needed.
