Rubio's Bluster Won't Change the Fact: Iran Talks Are Deadlocked The recent comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where he stated that the US would either have a good agreement with Iran or deal with them "another way," underscore the stark reality on the ground.
The three month old conflict in the Strait of Hormuz is far from over, and Washington's latest attempts at diplomatic posturing are little more than a smokescreen.
Rubio's assertion that the US would give diplomacy every chance to succeed before exploring alternatives rings hollow, especially considering President Donald Trump's repeated emphasis on getting a deal done quickly.
