US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran’s nuclear ambitions remain the central issue in any negotiations, responding to Tehran’s latest reported proposal to postpone nuclear talks in exchange for ending the blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that at some point in the future, if this radical clerical regime remains in charge in Iran, they will decide they want a nuclear weapon,” Rubio said in an interview with Fox News.
He said Iranian negotiators were likely trying to buy time and warned Washington must ensure that any agreement “definitively prevents them from sprinting towards a nuclear weapon at any point.”
