Rubio cites some progress on Iran talks but says 'we're not there yet,' after NATO meeting
The United States has seen some progress in talks with Iran and is in constant communication with the Pakistani mediators, but there is more work to be done, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday.
"There's been some progress. I wouldn't exaggerate it. I wouldn't diminish it," Rubio told reporters after a NATO ministers meeting in Sweden.
"There's more work to be done," he added. "We're not there yet. I hope we get there."
US President Donald Trump would prefer to do a good deal, Rubio said. The core concern remains that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and the issue of future uranium enrichment needs to be discussed, as well as reopening the Strait of Hormuz, he added.
