US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the US would “love to reach a diplomatic settlement” with Iran.

“We’d love to reach an agreement if it were possible with Iran … where they say, ‘We will no longer sponsor terrorism, and we will not pursue a nuclear weapon or the things you need for a nuclear weapon,” he told reporters in Manila.
