Trump says Iran talks are still alive as Rubio warns no agreement is guaranteed<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed doubts about a U.S.-Iran agreement, citing progress but emphasizing uncertainty, while both nations engaged in military actions amid strained negotiations.<\/p>\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> raised doubts about the likelihood of a deal between the U.S. and Iran, highlighting progress in negotiations but stressing uncertainty about the outcome. <\/p>\n

“They have agreed to negotiate aspects of their nuclear program that just a month ago, just a year ago, they were refusing to even mention, much less enter into discussions about,” Rubio said during a hearing<\/a> with senators. “That is not a guarantee that ultimately it will lead to a deal that’s acceptable to the Senate or acceptable to the American people.” <\/p>\n

Rubio also said Iran agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as part of the ceasefire but has not yet done so, which is affecting Americans at the gas pump.<\/p>\n

Today, AAA<\/a> is reporting the average price for a gallon of regular gas is $4.26. That’s about a 43% increase from when the war started on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump offered a contrasting perspective Tuesday<\/a> after Iranian news agencies reported that Tehran had stopped communicating through mediators following Israel’s threats to bomb Lebanon. <\/p>\n

Trump denied claims that talks had paused, insisting that negotiations are ongoing and stating it is time for Iran to make a deal “one way or another.” <\/a><\/p>\n

On Monday, President Donald Trump told ABC News<\/a> he believes the U.S. will reach an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz within the next week. He also told CNBC<\/a> he does not care if negotiations with Iran are over.<\/p>\n

Tensions between the two nations escalated on Tuesday as the U.S. announced it fired a missile into the engine room of an oil tanker<\/a> attempting to reach Iran despite the U.S. blockade. In response, the U.S. military reported that Iran launched attacks<\/a> on Kuwait and Bahrain, two U.S. allies. A second wave of attacks targeted American forces<\/a> in Kuwait, which U.S. forces shot down. Iran also fired at at least one civilian ship in the region. Kuwait’s Army reports Kuwait International Airport was hit during the strikes<\/a>, resulting in “significant material damage to the building and injuries to a number of individuals.”<\/p>\n
