The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, told reporters on Sunday about the negotiation process with the Islamic Republic of Iran: "I have no progress to report and I cannot say that we are on the verge of opening." However, several countries continue to interact with them with different ideas. Emphasizing Washington's approach, he added: "Trump always prefers to resolve this issue and any other issue diplomatically, although unfortunately sometimes it is not possible, but if there is an opportunity, we will look into it." The US Secretary of State went on to say: "As of now, this path has not been particularly fruitful, as Iran's demands are not only unacceptable, but also wasteful, ridiculous and, in some cases, really illogical."
