Marco Rubio says the deal with Iran is still being negotiated but “it will take days” after new attacks

The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio stated this Tuesday that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open “one way or another” and that the negotiations with Iran They continue, although resolving the discrepancies in the initial draft will take “a few days.”

Washington’s statements come hours after the US Armed Forces attacked military targets in southern Iran, in an operation described by Washington as an action in “self-defense” to protect its troops from threats from Iranian forces.

The US Central Command justified the attacks as a measure of legitimate defense, assured that containment is maintained during the current ceasefire and that the operation was directed against missile launching sites and vessels that were trying to lay mines.
