US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that a deal with Iran was still possible despite new American strikes that cast doubt on their fragile ceasefire, AFP reports.

“There were some talks going on in Qatar today, so we’ll see if we can make progress. I think it’s a lot of talking back and forth going on about specific language in the initial document, so it’ll take a few days,” Rubio told reporters in Jaipur during an official visit to India.

“The president’s expressed his desire to make it. He’s either going to make a good deal or no deal,” he said.
