US Officials Highlight Challenges in Iran Talks Amid Sanctions and Diplomatic Efforts
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio described talks with Iran as unproductive, criticizing Tehran's demands as unrealistic and unacceptable. He emphasized continuing economic sanctions as a strategy to pressure Iran, rejecting both war and Iran's conditions. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump indicated that new military strikes are unlikely if diplomatic progress occurs, following regional calls for dialogue. Qatar and Pakistan are mediating negotiations, which have stalled since early November amid recent US strikes on Iranian territory and Iran's warning of escalation.
