Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed optimism that nuclear negotiations with Iran could resume, despite doubts about the current ceasefire. He defended the Trump administration’s strategy on Iran and other global hotspots during hearings before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a House Appropriations subcommittee. Both sessions were briefly interrupted by protesters.

    1. The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today.
    2. Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the U.S.A., stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous.
    3. Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, 'It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!'

    1. Israel has no territorial claims in Lebanon. Hezbollah is the impediment. There is no Hezbollah without Iran.
    2. Israel and Lebanon can do a peace deal tomorrow.
    3. What they tried to do is they were going to try to build a conventional shield and hide behind that conventional shield.
    4. They have agreed to negotiate aspects of their nuclear programme that just a month ago, just a year ago, they were refusing to even mention.
    5. I would imagine, given what's happened to multiple leaders in that system, being very public is probably not something that's recommended for them internally.
    6. If Iran insists on closing the strait, we will effectively close it to Iran through a blockade.
    7. The number one condition in talks with Iran is that Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz.
    8. There is the prospect before us, which could happen today, it could happen tomorrow, it could happen next week.
    9. But that said, I think there are indications out there that he is increasingly engaging at some level, although all of his communications have been in writing and through intermediaries.
