US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced during his trip to Paris that his country is still "open to diplomacy" to end the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but he called Tehran's conditions unacceptable.
Rubio told reporters on Tuesday, November 10: "Iran's demands are completely unrealistic." "We expect this situation to change, and we are fully prepared for diplomacy if that happens."
He added that if the US could achieve its goals through economic means, there would be no need to carry out additional military attacks on Iran. These statements are made while the efforts of regional and international mediators continue to bring the parties back to the negotiating table and curb tensions.
