US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a potential agreement to end the conflict involving Iran could be reached “today” or on Monday, according to multiple reports. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Rubio indicates that talks may produce “news” soon, while also urging against overreading recent developments. The reporting also cites Rubio’s comments that a key part of any arrangement involves Iran’s ability to “open up the straits,” including getting shipping access through the straits. In the same remarks, Rubio reiterates that Israel has the right to defend itself against attack. The outlets describe Rubio’s remarks as a signal that the diplomatic pathway remains active, even as he frames the timing as uncertain and subject to ongoing discussions. Overall, the coverage converges on Rubio’s core points: the possibility of a deal materialising soon, the focus on straits access as part of the negotiation framework, and Israel’s asserted right to self-defense.
