Kambiz Tawana, an editorial member of Iran International, said that Marco Rubio's positions show that Washington is looking for a fundamental change in the behavior and policies of the Islamic Republic, and that general agreements and diplomatic promises are not enough. Referring to a Reuters report on Qatar's mediation, Tawana added that the Qatari mediators presented a seven-day proposal to Tehran that includes seven specific steps. According to him, the US demands practical and applicable steps before continuing the negotiations, while the Islamic Republic still insists on lifting the sanctions and accepting concessions against the agreement.
