Secretary Rubio Says U.S. Made “Significant Progress” Toward Interim Deal with Iran
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration made “significant progress” toward a deal with Iran. A senior U.S. official also said that the U.S. and Iran had agreed in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and to have Iran dispose of its nuclear material. Iran has not commented publicly on the potential agreement.

Suffice to say that some progress has been made. Significant progress, although not final progress, has been made. So we’ve made some progress over the last 48 hours working with our partners in the Gulf region on an outline that could ultimately, if it succeeds, leave us not just with a completely open straits, and I mean open straits without tolls, and with addressing some of the key things that underpin what has been Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions in the past. I’m always cautious when I say that because you can agree to things on paper; they actually have to be implemented. You can agree to things in writing, and then you actually have to go out and do it.
