“I’m not sure you can reach a deal with these guys, but we’re going to try to find out,” the U.S. secretary of state said.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that negotiations with Iran cannot be limited to the nuclear file.
Speaking in Washington at a summit on critical mineral development, Rubio appeared to reject Tehran’s desire to exclude the Islamic Republic’s domestic repression and support for regional proxies from upcoming talks with the United States.
“In order for talks to actually lead to something meaningful, they will have to include certain things,” Rubio said. “That includes the range of their ballistic missiles, that includes their sponsorship of terrorist organizations across the region, that includes a nuclear program and that includes the treatment of their own people.”
